Golden Prosperity Pathway

"Every Step Together, A Blessing Forward"

Imagine stepping from Jakarta's modern skyline into an intimate Indonesian-Chinese ancestral home during CNY eve — but elevated to museum-grade artistry. Rich burgundy and antique gold fabrics drape softly, creating warm enclaves. Handcrafted paper lanterns glow amber. Scent of osmanthus tea and fresh tangerines. Sound of guzheng strings plucked softly.

Ancestral Home Experience

Visual Universe

The ballroom doesn't feel like a ballroom — it feels like 600 guests have been welcomed into OCBC's family home for the most treasured night of the year.

Visual Pillars

Color

Deep burgundy + antique gold + warm wood tones (not bright red/shiny gold)

Texture

Silk, velvet, rice paper, bamboo, lacquered wood

Light

Warm amber glow (candlelight feel, never harsh white)

Props

Heritage artifacts (vintage abacus, calligraphy scrolls, prosperity trees with real tangerines)

Cultural Authenticity

Indonesian-Chinese home CNY traditions (fei chun, angpao trees, ancestral altar reimagined)

The Narrative

One-Line Thesis

"OCBC invites its most valued clients to walk the Golden Prosperity Pathway — a cultural journey where ancient CNY blessings are personalized by master artisans, transforming the evening into a treasured family heirloom experience."

Arrival → Journey Begins

The Pathway Opens

Guests arrive at hotel entrance transformed into CNY prosperity gate — twin 12-ft gold-leafed pillars wrapped in silk, flanked by traditional lion dancers. Red carpet leads through foyer doors.

Emotion: Curiosity + anticipation
2
Journey Through Artisan Gallery

The Five Blessings

Grand foyer transformed into 5 intimate artisan studios — each a 10x10ft enclave with warm lighting, cultural artifacts, master craftsperson at work.

Emotion: Wonder → gratitude → 'I'm truly valued here'
3
Dinner → Collective Blessing → Lasting Memory

The Shared Table

Ballroom revealed — not vast and cold, but divided into 6 intimate 'family rooms' via 8-ft floral walls, warm amber lighting, silk draping lowering ceiling feel. Feels like 6 separate CNY reunion dinners happening simultaneously.

Emotion: Fullness, gratitude, anticipation for next year

Fortune Pathway Heritage Gallery

Upon arrival, each guest receives a golden prosperity passport — a premium red booklet embossed with their name in calligraphy. They embark on a 5-station cultural journey through the foyer.
