To house its mooncakes this year, Jiang-Nan Chun created a red external box carved to reveal a blue silk dress, inspired by an antique nyonya wedding robe that’s displayed within the restaurant at The Four Seasons Hotel Singapore. Water elements and fishnet motifs, which call to mind the rivers of the Jiangnan region, appear on the back of the box.
