The Dragon Rocking Horse

The Dragon rocking horse is more than a playful reinterpretation of Singapore’s iconic playground sculptures—it stands as a vibrant emblem of local heritage and memory. Drawing inspiration from the beloved mosaic dragon found in public housing estates, this piece was conceived during a time when Singapore’s design community began to reflect deeply on the nation’s unique cultural landscape.

During the SG50 celebrations, The Dragon became a celebrated icon of the burgeoning “nostalgia movement,” capturing public imagination as Singapore looked back on 50 years of independence. Its distinctive form and joyful presence resonated across generations; it was widely featured in cultural campaigns and public storytelling efforts throughout this period, helping crystallize a new appreciation for the city’s playful and communal past.

The Dragon Rocking Horse comes in both a small (kids) size and a large (adult) size
