For its Christmas book display, the Starfield Library — which is located in the Starfield COEX Mall in Seoul's Gangnam district, taps into established American artist Mike Stillkey who is renowned for his mesmerizing book installations.
The Starfield Library has an extensive collection of publications — the establishment makes over 50,000 books available to its audience. However, its Christmas book display will most definitely steal the spotlight during the festive season. The sculptural project takes up the space of three walls. Mike Stillkey arranges the books in the Starfield Library in such a way as to visually display fantastical sceneries — from a bunny and a reindeer who are riding sleds to dancing cats on blue-furred bears.
This Christmas book display will, without a doubt, bring a smile and a degree of whimsicality to the shoppers at COEX Mall.
