New Work - Minerva, Bookshop and Gallery

After looking at the library inspirations yesterday - I thought of Minerva - a bookshop and gallery dedicated to crafts and textiles. I designed this store last year.

Check out the old furniture we kept from the client's previous space - big chunky table, chairs and an old counter; which we combined with simple white walls and book displays. The orange lights and central runner divide the space up and leads to the retro orange doors (which I posted last week) at the back of the store.

I enjoyed this job as we transformed a dark concrete shell to this warm and inviting retail space and the client is delighted - which, at the end of the day, is essential.
