UNIQLO’S Flower of Peace for World Art Day

Over 50 Raffles Designers and Marketers created UNIQLO’S Flower of Peace for World Art Day

World Art Day is celebrated each year on 15 April, and more than 50 students from Raffles Singapore campus
came together to celebrate peace this World Art Day with UNIQLO’s Flowers of Peace workshop held on 15 April 2025.

About the Workshop

Inspired by Picasso’s iconic Bouquet of Friendship, Flowers of Peace is a 90-minute collaborative art workshop led by Artolution’s teaching artists, Zero and TraseOne, as they bring their expertise in community art making and collaborative storytelling. In a reflection on peace through art, Raffles Designers and Marketers were invited to contribute to a collaborative artwork, a collage of creations envisioning hope and our collective power to create positive change.

Where will the artworks be displayed?

Their artworks will be featured in a community art piece, put together by Artolution, to be displayed at the Picasso Museum in Paris.

On 16 May 2025, the International Day of living together in Peace, all 25 artworks, including a collage of
Singapore’s artworks, will be collated into one grand art piece and unveiled at the Picasso Museum in Paris and displayed for the public. It will be displayed at UNIQLO Marais thereafter.

Together, we create positive change by Design!

Collaboration: Singapore River’s Street Furniture

A Fresh Look for the Singapore River’s Street Furniture

The Singapore River’s street furniture has been given a bold new look. Refreshed with striking colours that brighten the waterfront while complementing its surroundings, these benches continue to serve as inviting
rest spots along Clarke Quay and Robertson Quay.

A collaboration between Singapore River One, Goldbell Group, and Raffles Design Institute, the Singapore River’s Street Furniture Design Project was first introduced in 2018 to enhance public spaces with thoughtful designs for visitors to Singapore River.

As part of the latest refurbishment, Raffles Interior Designer HENG Manith contributed to the colour selection process, ensuring a vibrant yet harmonious update to the original benches designed by Raffles Interior Designers Vera GUO Bing Ling and Thanakorn Sensathien, which had withstood the elements over the years. These benches remain a fixture of the riverfront experience, proving that great design is not just about aesthetics, it also provides good functionality with long-lasting impact for the community.

Take a seat along the Singapore River next time you stroll along the river.

Tianjin University of Commerce Boustead College
China Curriculum Development Visit 2024

Raffles College of Higher Education welcomed delegates from Tianjin University of Commerce Boustead College, an institute of RafflesEducation, to the Singapore campus for an education and teaching development seminar! 🎓✨

The visit provided invaluable insights for all faculty members between the two institutions! They shared pedagogical approaches and investigated new areas to improve student’s learning experiences and graduate outcomes.

As part of their visit, the delegates viewed Midori collection by Raffles Jewellery Designer Mifuyu FUKAI at the RISIS boutique. Mifuyu’s passion for design, coupled with her reverence for Japanese culture, served as the driving force behind the Midori collection.

The Midori collection is a testament to Mifuyu’s artistic vision and meticulous craftsmanship. Inspired by Japan’s enchanting bamboo forests, each piece in this collection exudes elegance and sophistication. Crafted with precision and adorned with prasiolite (green amethyst), this collection is currently retailed at RISIS and now available in white gold and rose gold due to popular demand.

Raffles Designers not only learn from industry collaboration but also excel in them to bring their designs from Design to Retail.

Beyond individual success stories, this collaboration symbolizes Raffles’s commitment to nurturing and empowering the next generation of creatives. By providing students like Mifuyu with real-world opportunities and industry exposure, we aim to foster innovation, excellence, and career readiness for Raffles Designers.
