Located of the ground floor lobby of their New York World Headquarters, the shop specializes in the sales of rare books and catalogs. Designed in a low compressed area of the building, steel custom made displays are organized in a rectilinear fashion in order to create diverse perspectives. These “street like” aisles frame distinct perimeter dark and light wood display and storage bins throughout the shop. Breaks in these linear forms mark the internet and main counter.
The dark chocolate cork flooring provides a continuous background for all the display fixtures.
