Paragon celebrates its 25th anniversary with a Spring Soiree, bringing together a thoughtful curation of art, nature, and mindful living experiences. On 17 April, the iconic Orchard Road mall will be transformed into a vibrant sanctuary where creativity meets tranquility. Shoppers can look forward to immersive installations, hands-on workshops, wellness activities, and the chance to purchase unique art pieces — all in support of mental health awareness.
At the heart of Spring Soiree are meaningful collaborations with celebrated local artists whose installations and workshops explore the healing power of creativity. As part of its anniversary celebrations, Paragon is giving back with purpose – with proceeds from the activities going towards supporting mental health initiatives by the Yeo Boon Khim Mind Science Centre, a research centre under National University of Singapore and National University Health System focused on preventive care and mental health awareness.
“Spring is all about fresh beginnings, and with Spring Soiree, we wanted to spark that sense of renewal — through immersive art, mindful practices, and thoughtful design. As we celebrate Paragon’s 25th anniversary, this celebration is our way of giving back to our community with purpose and intention, while spotlighting wellness as a pillar of modern luxury. This is just the beginning – visitors can look forward to a year filled with meaningful celebrations to mark this milestone,” says Jaylyn Ong, Managing Director, Straits Retail Property Management Services Pte Ltd.
Art, Nature and Wellness – Highlights of Spring Soiree
The Spring Soiree features several installations capturing the artistry of nature.
Blooming Windmill by Singaporean Artist Pei Li.
At the outdoor foyer of Paragon, visitors are greeted by a breathtaking floral installation created in collaboration with celebrated Singaporean artiste Pei Li of PeiPer. This striking masterpiece captures the essence of movement and renewal, as Pei Li artfully transforms paper, foam, metal, and mixed media into exquisite, larger-than-life blooms that echo the delicate beauty of nature.
Towering at 4.5 metres, the windmill-inspired floral installation features seven unique flowers – each a symbol of hope, resilience, and nature’s uplifting energy. A vibrant tribute to transformation, the installation evokes the joy, vitality and playful elegance of Spring in full bloom.
“Nature is my quiet space, where birdsong, the hum of insects, and the stillness reset me. What I observed out there reflects in my art. I’m thrilled to be partnering with Paragon for this meaningful Spring Soiree, a beautiful blend of art and nature in support of mental wellness. My hope is that my pieces offer a pause for peace and contribute meaningfully to the important work of Yeo Boon Khim Science Centre,” shares Pei Li of Pei Per.
Pei Li’s artistry continues inside the mall with a tranquil extension of her outdoor display. Titled Morning Breeze: Quiet Moments, this installation features three 1.8 meters blooms – Cornflower, Echinacea, and Baby’s Breath – each meticulously handcrafted from paper, foam, and clay to capture the delicate intricacies of nature. A harmonious blend of organic beauty and masterful craftsmanship, the display invites visitors to pause, reflect, and reconnect with nature, offering a tranquil space that promotes mental wellness through the transformative power of art.
A Botanical Escape by Mosscape (17 April to 12 May)
Guests are invited to discover a botanical escape at Paragon’s main atrium on level one – where nature meets wellness. This lush garden installation blends vibrant foliage, sculptural floral design and calming natural textures to create a perfect escape amidst the buzz of Orchard Road.
Designed by award-winning Project Director Andy Eng of Mosscape (Nyee Phoe Flower Garden), the space channels the growing movement towards mindful living – inviting shoppers to pause, recharge and immerse themselves in mindful experiences.
“In celebration of Paragon’s 25th anniversary, Mosscape is proud to collaborate with the iconic shopping destination to create an immersive garden retreat within its atrium,” said Andy Eng, Project Director of Mosscape (Nyee Phoe Flower Garden). “This partnership blends Paragon’s legacy of luxury and refinement with Mosscape’s expertise in biophilic design, offering shoppers and visitors a serene sanctuary amid the vibrant energy of Orchard Road.”
In addition, exclusive Moss Art pieces created in collaboration with Mosscape and PeiPer are available for purchase, with 100% of proceeds going towards supporting programmes by the Yeo Boon Khim Mind Science Centre.
kebana Exhibition (16 to 25 May)
Come May, floral artistry takes center stage as 36 renowned Ikebana designers come together to present a stunning installation themed “Ikebana and You.” This immersive showcase highlights the profound connection between Ikebana – the traditional Japanese art of floral arrangement – and personal well-being.
Rooted in harmony, balance, and mindfulness, Ikebana is more than an aesthetic pursuit; it is a meditative practice that cultivates inner peace and resilience. Through the thoughtful arrangement of flowers and natural elements, this installation highlights how the “way of flowers” fosters mindfulness, creativity, and mental wellbeing.
Wellness and Creative Workshops for a Cause
Beyond the installations, visitors can also participate in a curated line-up of experiences designed to inspire creativity and promote holistic well-being. From hands-on workshops by PeiPer and Mosscape, to sweet moments with Venchi and more, the offerings promise something for every interest.
Visitors of Paragon can explore the healing power of nature through Forest Bathing sessions organised by Mind Science Centre, supported by National Parks Board (NParks), or craft their own calming oasis in Terrarium workshops led by Yeo Boon Khim Mind Science Centre. Guests can also look forward to exclusive beauty sessions by Jo Malone and ALBION, in collaboration with Metro, or reconnect with one’s body through restorative Pilates classes with Adeva Spa.
