Rather than depicting the flower literally, I took it apart. I dissected its form. What emerged is not an obvious hibiscus, but a contemporary interpretation that feels joyful, a little bit Mediterranean but definitely very happy.

It is unmistakably Malaysian, yet it does not announce itself as such.

This pink Bunga Raya print was originally commissioned by Jo Malone London many years ago. It did not fit their branding, but it found its true place with us, translated into tablecloths and homeware. I wanted it to carry a happy, almost Mexican Spanish spirit. Warm, generous, and made to be lived with.

The tablecloth is finished with a light acrylic coating, making it subtly waterproof and ideal for everyday use. It is designed to be used, not preserved.

What fascinates me is how one flower can generate endless interpretations. Some see repetition. I see possibility. Some see something tired. I see happiness. The flower never changed. The perspective did.

That idea extends far beyond design. In life, truth is personal. You choose what you focus on, what story you tell yourself, and how you interpret the world around you.

That is what Nala has always done. We take the familiar and offer a new way of seeing it. And suddenly, a flower becomes not just a flower, but thousands of new stories waiting to be told.
