The mall is not dead. The mall is evolving into something stranger and more defensible. Planet Mall addresses both sides of the retail transaction: the products that facilitate commerce and the products that protect the people facilitating it. Trees here cover the complete spectrum from point-of-sale defensive hardware to retail feedback apparatus to the writing instrument that allows someone to formally register a number on a piece of paper in exchange for a small amount of money. Everything on this planet is designed for high-traffic, low-patience environments where someone is always about to have an opinion about the price."
