JAN 2026 | LUNAR NEW YEAR

Welcoming the Year of the Horse

The story began on the glass.

Before the collection came together, before the red objects found their place on the table, our designer first imagined the horse that would greet everyone from the front of Tiger & Lotus. It started as an idea, then a sketch, then a bright little figure full of movement. A horse with spirit. A horse with play. A horse that could carry the joy of Chinese New Year without feeling too formal or expected.

From the first lines on paper to the final vinyl on glass, every part was considered. The curve of the body, the lift of the legs, the little details that made it feel alive. Once placed on the storefront, the horse became more than decoration. It became a welcome. A red signal of celebration against the colour and character of Joo Chiat, catching the light, the street, and the people passing by.

From there, the team began shaping a special Chinese New Year collection: The Ang Pow Edit.

The idea was simple. To celebrate the season through red, but in the Tiger & Lotus way. Not only red as tradition, but red as texture, warmth, humour, and bold little gestures around the home. A colour that can feel lucky, spirited, tender, and full of personality all at once.

So the team gathered pieces that carried that feeling. A cherry blouse with a delicate rhythm. A red mushroom cap lamp that brings a soft glow into the room. A horse mat that nods to the year with a wink. A tomato plate made for a table that refuses to be too serious. Small objects, wearable pieces, and home details came together like a festive arrangement, each one adding its own shade of red to the story.

Around the store, the collection took on the mood of the season. There were bright accents for the wall, pieces to wear with confidence, and objects that could sit quietly in a corner while still changing the feeling of the room. Red became more than a colour. It became a way of dressing the home, the body, and the days ahead with a little more courage.

By the end, the horse on the glass and the red collection inside began speaking to each other. One greeted the street with a lively gallop. The other filled the store with colour, craft, and cheer.

A new year, a bright red touch, and a little luck brought home.
