在2023年的倫敦設計節上，藝術家 Yu-Mei Huang 與BAO的 Erchen Chang 聯手在BAO King's Cross展出「漫長的一天」。 這個項目將Yu-Mei 獨特的編織紋理與 Erchen Chang 的感人素描完美結合，向傳奇的“孤獨男人”致敬。 受「包」（bāo）的啟發 - 這個字在中文中既可以翻譯為「包子」也可以翻譯為「袋子」 - 「孤獨的袋子」這個概念應運而生。 這些袋子將插圖和編織巧妙地結合在一起，反映了日終的情感。
Yu-Mei，以其標誌性的編織褶皺而聞名，展示了讓人回想起台灣標誌性紅條紋市場袋的設計。 她的作品強調了永續性、耐用性和無與倫比的工藝。 為了重現台灣夜市的氛圍，BAO King's Cross為客人提供了一個體驗創意、傳統和合作的融合之地，紡織與風味完美交融。
For the 2023 London Design Festival, artist Yu-Mei Huang collaborates with BAO's Erchen Chang to present "A LONG DAY" at BAO King's Cross. This melding showcases the harmony of Yu-Mei's signature knit textures with Erchen's evocative sketches, paying tribute to the symbolic 'Lonely Man'. Drawing inspiration from "包" (bāo), which signifies both "bun" and "bag" in Chinese, the innovative "Lonely Bags" come to life. These creations effortlessly intertwine detailed illustrations with knit techniques, encapsulating emotions of a day's end.
Yu-Mei, celebrated for her distinctive knit pleats, showcases designs evoking memories of Taiwan's iconic red-striped market bags. She places an emphasis on sustainability, durability, and impeccable craftsmanship. In a setting that resonates with Taiwan's twilight market ambiance, BAO King's Cross provides a stage for attendees to experience a unique fusion of creativity, heritage, and collaboration where textile artistry converges with culinary allure.
