St. Mark’s Bookshop in Manhattan Features a Clever Bookcase That Flows Around the Edge of the Store

St. Mark’s Bookshop, an independent bookstore in New York City’s East Village, recently moved into a new retail location that features a dramatic bookcase that flows around nearly the entire perimeter of the space. New York City-based Clouds Architecture Office created the unusual bookcase design to keep the center of the store uncluttered, allowing the space to double as an event venue.
