八 [bā] means eight, the luckiest number in Chinese culture and 宝 [bǎo] means treasure. Together, 八宝 [bā bǎo] is an ancient term that symbolises “many or assorted treasures”. The Babaobox philosophy is to share hidden gems and connect people through tangible experiences.
Babaobox is a curated box made in collaboration with tastemakers, cultural leaders and inspiring thinkers. Each limited edition contains bespoke objects and a collectible book that shares the extraordinary stories behind each treasure. With the abundance of social media, the world has never been so interconnected. Yet, we still yearn for quality human interaction and Babaobox brings back the tangible in sharing; filling you with wonder, anticipation and surprise.
Babaobox was founded by Claudia Got and Ying Lawrence in 2014, both with creative backgrounds: Claudia was formerly an art director at Grey New York, and Cheil Shanghai; Ying has a masters in Contemporary Art and worked for Art Basel Hong Kong.
