Full of Mirth (Hong Kong)


In a former stool factory in Hong Kong sits a great design store called Mirth. Kitted out with fantastic pieces from books to linen, toys to design accessories... and now Bison! Well actually we have been supplying Hong Kong with our vessels since early this year but a new shipment is about to land in-store next week. I've always loved the energy of this city. It has a strange hybrid nature which marries tiny twisting alleys to the hurly burly of a major financial capital. My Uncle had a home on the Peak and his children often spoke of the cable car which took them to the top. 

Mirth is one of those spaces which, miles apart from the generic mass-luxury stores, puts some individuality back in to the retail scene. To have a large amount of space in this town is a rare privilege... one I'm sure which is not lost on those who visit this 1960's warehouse-style venue. And their selection of colours from us is exquisite! 

Where to find it:

The Mezzanine Floor, Yip Kan Street, Wong Chuk Hang, Hong Kong
