Inspired by a common architectural element in Macau: square tiles. There are Portuguese ceramic tile walls and patterned floors at cold drink houses. Symmetrical blue and white patterns are regularly used at conventions to represent Macau and recall multicultural history. The 23 designs correspond with the total years since the transfer of Macau’s sovereignty in 1999 (as of May 2023). They feature a variety of organic and geometric patterns, lotus qualities, hints of gold chrome, and hand-brushed varnish.
