#OMG is a Japanese restaurant in Hong Kong. The restaurant name #OMG is a hashtag label commonly used in several major social media platforms, such as Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Google Plus, etc. Users create hashtags by placing a “#” sign before a word or a phrase. It allows them to express their feelings, and at the same time search for posts with the same hashtag. In the design of this restaurant, the designers have incorporated a lot of concepts that are associated with the Internet and social media. They have chosen magenta as the main color theme of this restaurant. This color not only resembles sakura, a symbol of Japan, but is also a mix of the white and red colors on the Japanese flag.

设计师今次就打破传统，将与互联网有关联的设计都放入店内。头顶上可见纵横交错、锯齿型的特制桃红色天花灯，就如把影像的像素不停放大后，可以见到的起角位，而它们相互交集，互相串连，亦表现了互联网将人与人接连在一起的特色。地板的图案同样可见这些锯齿形状，设计师特意订制人造石以拼合此图案，由于这种桃红色地砖在市面上很难找到，设计师也是特意订制，缝间同样以特制桃红色地砖填缝剂填满。

家具则采用较为方型的桌椅，同样表现出像素放大后的直角特色，餐厅内的卡位采用仿石，利落大方，而桌旁则以橡木塑白色来加工，令整体感觉更和谐，部分座椅则放上棘绒座垫。店内亦可见店名《#OMG》的字样，设计师将这三个字母像素化，以方型感觉来呈现，继续与主题相互呼应。

On the ceiling are some custom-made magenta lamps, criss-crossing each other illustrating a zigzag pattern. It resembles the pixelated image when a picture is being immensely enlarged. This web of lamps also represents how the Internet connects people around the globe, just like how hashtags enable users to browse stories of other people. Echoing with the design of the lamps, the floor patterns are also in zigzag shape. The tiles are made of customized artificial stones, the designers have also customized magenta grouting to fill the cracks between the tiles, which is of exactly the same color as other decorations in the restaurant.

To again resemble pixelated images, the designers picked square tables and chairs with right-angled corners. The booth seatings are made from solid surfacing to imitate rigid and angular pixels. The edges of the tables are painted in white oak color for decoration. These features of the furniture together create a harmonious and neat feeling. The name of the restaurant ‘#OMG’ on the main wall are being pixelated, presented in square forms, which continue to connect with the theme of this restaurant.
