Front Studio Architects devised a beautiful, modern space for McNally Jackson Books when they expanded to include a small cafe in their bookstore. The extension keeps the focus reader-friendly with hanging book lights.
The illumination includes several naked bulbs attached to a few hardcover books and chords that extend from the ceiling. No word on whether the hanging booklights use original volumes or lighter reproductions or if they can be purchased.
Implications - This fascinating fixture will inspire you to use your imagination, just as books do. Literary-lovers will adore this illuminating light installment which would be ideal for stores, offices and even schools. Live happily ever after with a literary light.
