Inspired by hand-forged shapes found across Europe and Asia, Sayang creates a bridge between two continents and their shared craft traditions. From heritage wooden chairs found in the secret garden of Le musée de la vie romantique in Paris, or the sunny terrasses of Marseille’s bistrots, to Penang, Kuala Lumpur, or Singapore’s familiar home grills and rattan pieces, the motif is a heartfelt homage to both regions and creates a quiet dialogue between two worlds.

Also known as Harimau Malaya (Malayan Tiger), Tiger Malaya is a playful take on the national symbol of Malaysia. A powerful expression of the nation’s spirit, the tiger embodies quiet confidence and untamed presence. This majestic creature is reinterpreted in a hand-drawn ink illustration and captures the raw character of the so-called ‘Forest Guardian’ through fine pen brushed lines.

This quirky motif is a tribute to the Frenchies who visited Malaysia some time back… Not as late as the 19th century! Starring the renowned Jeanne Cuisinier, ethnologist; Jacques de Morgan, mining engineer, geologist, and archaeologist; and Henri Fauconnier, famous author. Adorned with the traditional South East Asian wooden carved frames.
