JUMBO GATEWAY
Size: 12in H x 12in W
The Jumbo floating restaurant, also known as “Tai Pak”, operated in Aberdeen on the South of Hong Kong Island for decades as a “must visit” tourist stop for seafood and a staple weekend dim sum venue for many. The Jumbo was arguably the last great symbol of maritime life and the history in Aberdeen; a fishing community rich with Hong Kong heritage. The gateway on the journey to dine was a floating platform that uniquely framed your destination, this design made the Jumbo a living artwork to pause and admire.
The vivid (or gaudy) light show this monolith represented was visible form the Peak and any in-bound aircraft that saw visitors lucky enough to fly over it and have a window seat. An unceremonious exit from Hong Kong however saw it towed out to sea, and then, having not gone more than a few kilometers, it plunged to the depths never to be seen again.
