A Dreamy Ode to Artistic Expression

Pacific Place’s joyous garden celebrates the Lunar New Year through a poetic dialogue between fine craftsmanship and contemporary design. In collaboration with local embroidery artisans YLYstudio, majestic horses are adorned throughout the seasonal displays. Four of the horses are embellished with a distinctive combination of auspicious embroidered accessories, each thoughtfully chosen to reflect its individual theme. Feathers, birds, pomegranates, coins, flowers, four-leaf clovers, ladybirds and auspicious clouds are all re‑imagined in exquisite detail and infused with sophisticated flair. This artistry transforms the horse into a living emblem of prosperity, unity, and creative excellence, enriching the festive journey with layers of meaning and refined elegance.

‘Blooming Splendour’ Lai See – Step into the Year of the Horse with Prosperity

The Lunar New Year ‘Blooming Splendour’ Lai See packets reimagine traditional embroidery with a modern, painterly twist, transforming each packet into a work of art. Delicate floral patterns demonstrate the texture and layering of sewing effects, enriched with tonal shades of red, pink and orange. At the centre, a sculptural floral motif symbolises prosperity, beauty and renewal, elevated with pearl‑like accents that echo the refinement of beadwork. Each set of Lai See packets is accompanied by a velvet pouch, which comes in two colours – pink velvet with a pomegranate charm and green velvet with a lucky clover charm. The detachable charms are designed to be worn across your outfits, bringing blessings and refined style to every look.

This Lunar New Year, follow the lead of the majestic horses to Pacific Place and Starstreet Precinct for an unparalleled experience of refined craftsmanship. Stay tuned for details of curated New Year activities and exclusive shopping privileges to start a prosperous year ahead!
