We’re honored to work with The Met again this year to highlight their Asian Art collection and Year of the Tiger exhibition through a new commemorative chili oil gift box. Crafted by Chef Lucas Sin (Food & Wine’s Best New Chefs 2021) and handmade in small batches, each set comes with a pair of distinctive flavors. A perfect gift for Lunar New Year, this special set is presented in a commemorative gift box adorned with art curated through our collaboration with The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Inspired by a pair of early 20th-century woodblock prints from The Met Asian Art collection: New Year Picture of Door God Zhao Gongming and the Shining Daoist Immortal, the gift box design seeks to give context in which traditional New Year woodblock prints are used: posted on the main entrance of homes, offering protection and prosperity to the families they guard.
