Through the years, the mass production of Merlion trinkets has led to a desensitisation towards Singapore’s official mascot. At Supermama, the Merlion’s tired image is an invitation for reinvention. In collaboration with five Singaporean illustrators, we’ve breathed new life into this emblem on Japanese glassware. Our open secret? We’d love for this mythical creature to make a roaring comeback into our hearts once more.

HOME-GROWN ILLUSTRATORS

Supermama has brought together five illustrators from our little tropical island to each present their perspectives on this well-known state icon, in vibrant colours and bold shapes.
