Zhongshuge Minhang bookstore announces grand book hall

new bookstore in Shanghai’s Minhang District has been featured on designboom.com for its remarkable design.

The Zhongshuge Minhang store was created by Chinese architectural firm X+living and installed in a third-floor business park location. The store features a black book wall with groups of peg-top bookshelves under a soft light, as well as a text-covered curtain wall with balanced geometric bookshelves inspired by spinning ballet dancers.

The store’s grand book hall features bookshelves stretched outwards on both sides towards a mirrored ceiling with symmetrical designs resembling a British church. Low-profile reading booths allow visitors to enjoy private and quiet escapes during their reading.

Readers may buy a cup of coffee while reading their selected books in an atmosphere that emphasizes the beauty of books and reflects a cultured and multidimensional design vision.
