Delay No Mall


Hong Kong has over 50 shopping centres - that is one loaded two digit number for such a small area, no joke. Delay No Mall is my favorite mall located in Causeway Bay. This latest concept mall, opened up in the recent past year or two. MOCACHINA lives happily inside it, and there is always a different rotation and fresh variety of art exhibitions/events going on inside. They also have the coolest design bookstore ever. I was in love and I wish I could've folded it in a suitcase with me back to New York. What amazes me about it is the whole experience design of the space. And its completely eye-catching ways of advertising and branding itself - you must watch this youtube of one of their crazy promotions!! I LOVE the concept: Delay No More.





These two were from the Stitch exhibition where various artists interpreted how one blank figure can be translated into tons of designs.


Another exhibition that was up after Stitch was rotated out. If you didn't notice, that is not A-Lincoln. that is B-Obama. Check out R-McDonald!

Just some hallway art, and even those were cool.


I actually just read that MocaChina has moved out of DNM... so it's closed until further notice. Am I glad I caught it in time!



So detailed... and underneath here is another rotation called Canvas for Change after the first set with the squiggly dot artist. (Sorry, forgot to take down the name.)


See what I mean with the creative use of space? Even the galleries were set up in fashion.

They also had Metronaps energy pods - which is also available in New York. Basically, you pay $$ for a great 20-minute nap whether it be on lunch break or pre-happy hour. I haven't tried it yet, but I will definitely blog about it when I do. Someone I know had told me that it is surprisingly like bottled water - well worth the money for the quench of thirst.


LOVE pixels.





But my absolute top down favorite favorite thing about Delay No Mall? The pacman styled toilets. Watch this to see why it literally scared the SH*T outta me:

sicK!
