Alan Yau, 108

Alan Yau is a London-based international restaurateur with an unorthodox approach often based on his spiritual ideology. 

108 —1, 0 and 8— encapsulate the universe as one thing, nothing and everything. It is considered sacred in Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism. Some Buddhists believed there are 108 emotions. There are 108 steps to many Bhuddist temples. 108 is part of the golden ration and the tetranacci sequence. In martial arts and acupuncture the body has 108 pressure points. 

Based on the elegant numerical system called counting rods (historically used by mathematicians across Asia) I have created a bespoke abstract alphabet which places the emphasis on the mystical and enigmatic, to create a visual language unique to Alan Yau.
