ONCE UPON A POUNCE is a festive gift set that represents an optimistic leap into the Lunar New Year, encouraging all to seize opportunities in a new world ahead. The paper tiger limbs features a spin on the gestural stripes of traditional folk tiger toys. These typographic strokes form the Chinese character 虎 when put together. The hand-pleated body is a kinetic art piece that stretches and warps the character for prosperity “福” as it moves — a manifestation of choice and chance.
