Selfridges has opened a pop-up library at its London flagship, housing more than 15,000 of the world's most inspirational books.
Set up within the basement's Ultralounge area, Selfridges’ dedicated
arts and exhibition space, the library offers visitors the opportunity
to browse and purchase from a selection of books, each one carefully chosen exclusively for the store by a host of
publishing houses and celebrities.
The library features floor-to-ceiling wooden bookshelves, displaying
items in both colour-coded blocks and in a deliberately haphazard style.
The room is given a retro-modern feel with classic Anglepoise lamps,
old-fashioned typewriters, rocking chairs, step ladders and Arne
Jacobsen-style egg chairs housed alongside iPads and eReaders.
