Peter Som x Social Studies
The Limited-Edition Lunar New Year Box
Are you ready for the new year? The Lunar New Year, that is. Celebrate the Year of the Tiger in style with this limited-edition Lunar New Year Box I designed in collaboration with Social Studies.
Social Studies is the go-to destination for all things entertaining— they know how to throw a party and they’ve got it down to a science so you can spend less time running around and more time— well, partying!
From modern party rentals and decor to everyday essentials, Social Studies lets you get social at home with curated tabletop and decor that you can rent for effortless entertaining.
So, set the table, then gather around with friends and family as you enjoy a delicious feast, boisterous laughter, and conversation that flows into the night. Here’s to a year filled with good fortune, health, happiness and elegantly chic gatherings!
What’s IN THE BOX?
The Lunar New Year box includes:
one runner
four cocktail napkins
four bowls
four sauce dishes
four spoons
five sets of chopsticks
four red faux floral stems, and
six red envelopes
…all for keeps!
TIPS for the host
Make red and gold the dress code to ward off evil spirits, and for a touch of glam. Save black and white attire for another occasion!
Fill those red envelopes with crisp, new bills before giving them to your guests as a symbol of luck and good wishes for the new year.
Display citrus on your table, especially tangerines and mandarins as they are believed to bring good luck and fortune.
For some fun table talk, ask your guests if they know which animal zodiac year they were born in and what 2022’s is. (Answer: Year of the Tiger!)
