Design company, Wutopia Lab, created a garden-inspired bookstore that officially opened in Shanghai this past May. Using traditional Chinese gardens as the design focal point, the bookstore boasts bookshelves made from perforated aluminum and quartz stone. The bookshelves also double as partition walls to create a maze-like store layout.
Comprising of cave-like interior spaces, the bookstore claims 452 square meters. Small trees and potted plants add natural elements to the store's interior, while a water feature adds a sense of peace and serenity to the atmosphere. Wutopia Lab founder Yu Ting explained the client's specific vision: "He wanted to create a bookstore that showcases a lifestyle and is able to combine flowers, wine, tea, and carefully selected books."
