A retail bookstore in the age of Amazon and ebooks? That’s exactly what Assouline does, and here’s how they’ve done it in their ten “libraries” around the world:
1) Red makes everything look richer.
2. Display books with interesting objects from around the world (like this Bambou bookrest from L’Objet):
3) Treat your books like art and display them accordingly.
4) Bring in a bit of history and tradition.
5) Some days you celebrate the fast life …
6) … while on other days you just unwind.
7) Well-loved books go with well-worn floors.
8) An alphabet and numbers rug – what a genius idea for a library!
9) Picture lights are essential for illuminating important pieces.
10) The writing on the wall says it all.
