Design & Story
Longevity noodles are eaten during Lunar New Year uncut, symbolising long life, strength and continuity. It is one of many auspicious foods where the meaning is not written in the recipe, but understood through tradition and passed down from one generation to the next.
The illustration places the noodles front and centre, framed by a vintage Chinese menu inspired border and paired with hand painted lettering. The composition draws from old restaurant menus and traditional banquet culture, reinterpreted into a bold, modern graphic.
Part of the LNY Traditions collection, this piece reflects the hidden symbolism behind celebratory foods and the way traditions are often passed down. Not through instructions, but through what shows up on the table, year after year.
