Mei Ume
Design
East and west
In a Grade II listed heritage building – the 1922 former headquarters of the Port of London Authority – Ed Ng and Terence Ngan of AB Concept took inspiration from the building’s heritage as a gateway for merchants from the east and west and the restaurant name Mei Ume, which is a combination of the Japanese and Chinese language words for Plum Blossom.
A large screen at the entrance made with enamel paint on glass depicts the signature plum blossoms. Strategically placed at the entrance, this piece fuses the two worlds into one as a common language.
