Imperial Harvest has unveiled a one-of-one bespoke Mahjong set in Singapore valued at US$1.888 million, placing it among the world’s most valuable Mahjong sets ever created.
The collector’s piece is not only designed as a rare luxury object. All proceeds from its sale have been pledged to DIPG Foundation Singapore, supporting research into one of the deadliest forms of childhood brain cancer.
For generations, Mahjong has been more than a game. It is a symbol of family, strategy, prosperity and shared tradition. Across Asia and increasingly around the world, it continues to bring people together around the table. Imperial Harvest’s new creation takes that cultural significance further, turning a game associated with fortune and connection into a vehicle for hope.
Prosperity With A Purpose
The beneficiary of the sale, DIPG Foundation Singapore, is dedicated to advancing research into Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, a rare and aggressive brain tumour that mainly affects children between the ages of five and 11.
DIPG has long been considered incurable, and research into the disease remains severely underfunded. While recent medical progress has renewed hope in the field, families affected by the condition still face an urgent need for better treatment access, clinical trials and support.
The foundation was established by families who each experienced the loss of a child to the disease. Its work focuses on funding research, advocating for innovative therapies and helping children and families affected by paediatric brain cancers.
For Grand Master David Goh, founder of Imperial Harvest, the donation reflects a belief that prosperity carries its greatest meaning when it is shared. The Mahjong set celebrates abundance through symbolism and craftsmanship, while channelling its value into research that may help change the future for children facing this devastating diagnosis.
A Rare Mahjong Set Reimagined Through Craft
The Imperial Feng Shui Mahjong Set arrives at a time when traditional Mahjong tile carving is fading worldwide, giving the piece significance beyond luxury alone.
At its heart are 156 playing tiles, including Animal, Fei and Joker tiles. Each tile is individually crafted from untreated Burmese Grade A Black Jadeite, a rare stone long associated with protection, resilience and prosperity. Because the jadeite remains untreated, every tile carries its own natural individuality.
The tiles are housed in a bespoke trunk wrapped in rare Himalayan Niloticus crocodile leather, prized for its natural gradient resembling snow-capped mountain peaks. Inside, aerospace-grade Alcantara, the same premium material used in Ferrari and Lamborghini interiors, creates a soft and durable lining to protect the set.
Feng Shui Symbolism In Every Detail
Guided by third-generation feng shui master Grand Master David Goh, the set has been created with both visual beauty and symbolic meaning in mind.
The conventional Singapore animal tiles have been replaced by the Four Celestial Guardians: the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Phoenix, White Tiger and Black Tortoise. These mythical creatures are rooted in Chinese cosmology and traditionally represent protection, balance and harmony.
The flower tiles have also been redesigned, depicting the bat, deer, crane and magpie. Together, they symbolise fortune, prosperity, longevity and happiness.
Even the Seven Dots tile has been reworked. Its seven circles are arranged according to the “Seven Star Lighting” formation, an Imperial Feng Shui configuration linked to stability, clarity and strategic balance.
The Character suit includes English transliterations such as “Yi Wan”, “Er Wan” and “San Wan”, making the set more accessible to international collectors while preserving its cultural identity.
A New Expression Of Luxury
The Imperial Feng Shui Mahjong Set sits at the intersection of design, heritage, luxury and philanthropy.
It can be viewed as a collector’s piece, a cultural artwork, a study in symbolism or a rare expression of contemporary Asian craftsmanship. Yet its most important quality may be what it is designed to make possible.
By pledging all proceeds to childhood brain cancer research, Imperial Harvest has turned an object of prosperity into an instrument of purpose. In doing so, the Mahjong set becomes more than a luxury acquisition. It becomes a reminder that true abundance is most powerful when it creates hope for others.
