The Foldaway Bookshop is an innovative bookstore designed by Campaign Design. This bookstore is made entirely out of cardboard and stocks a variety of architecture books.
The Foldaway Bookshop was designed for the London Festival of Architecture. The bookstore is set to be taken down and recycled when the festival ends on July 4th. Even though it is only a temporary installation, this design should inspire small-business owners. Cardboard could be the low-cost solution they are looking for when designing their store.
