D'Espresso Cafe



Inspired by the nearby Bryant Park Library, nema workshop designed a store that is straightforward in a simple twisted way – Take a library and turn it SIDEWAYS. The booklined shelves become the floor and ceilings and wood floor ends up on the walls meanwhile the pendants protrude sideways from the wall. To achieve the books shelves on the floor, the space is lined with sepia-toned full size photograph of books printed on custom tiles.

Reception desk made entirely out of books at the Delft University of Technology.
Apparently the books used were the ones salvaged from a fire that had started a few years back and had caused considerable damage to the school.
