Peranakan Collection
The early Peranakans adopted a practice of incorporating expensive decorative ceramic tiles into the interior and exterior of their houses. These decorative tiles, usually in floral motifs, added both pastel and vibrant colours into their Victorian-style houses that reflect the East meets West blend of the Straits Chinese. With the march of time and modernization in Singapore, the production of these tiles in Singapore slowly diminished. Qua's collection refocuses on the lost form through this amazing collection.
The Peranakan Collection
The Peranakan Collection aims to preserve and present the finest appreciation of these classical motifs. Combining with the lustre of lacquer, it is the first in the world that blends the Straits Chinese decorative tiles into a single uniquely-crafted piece.
