Karl Lagerfeld And The Lion’s Seal For Sofitel So Singapore
Where: 35 Robinson Road, Singapore, Singapore, 068876
We’ve been wondering what Karl Lagerfeld has up his sleeve over at the Sofitel So in Singapore, which we looked at mid-construction a few months back. Due to open in November as the third So property by the French group (theres Bangkok which we loved and Mauritius so far), details are coming out painfully slow, but one thing we now know is his design for the hotels emblem: The Lions Seal.
Linking back to the origin of the Asian city-state, it references the 14th century folklore of Sumatran Prince Sang Nila Utama spotting what he believed to be a lion on the island, and naming it Singa Pura, or the Lion City, as a result. While its most likely the creature was a tiger, as lions never lived in this area, the Lion City name stuck. Singapores mascot, the Merlion, a mythical creature with the head of a lion and the body of a fish, can be found about ten minutes walk from the hotel.
