books and shelves

books and shelves

I loved this image found in the January 2011 Travel & Leisure. It’s a detail shot of a menswear store in Hong Kong called Moustache. I’m really attracted to the fish tank looking display container that houses the smaller potted plants. I’m thinking maybe I might be needing one of those for the office…But what’s really fun is the stacks of books that appear to hold up the shelving (although you can see they actually have separate supports). I found another image that Jules Shah took, which shows that the books actually go from the floor up.

I think it just makes for a playful and witty presentation!
