After the vibrant pink shelving of the Paagman bookstore catches your eye, the curved bookshelf design by CUBE Architects draws you in to discover the latest bestsellers.
Located at the entrance of the central library in the Hague, this bookstore has some awesome features. Cozy cushioned seating areas are built into the brightly coloured shelving, creating the perfect private spot to check out a new novel. The shelves themselves are designed so that books can be are displayed facing forward or spine-side out, and they're also open to allow light to stream in. The highlight for me is the dazzling use of Paagman’s signature hot pink colour.
