SPRING STREET’S WALL OF BOOKS

We now have a US flagship store, located on Spring Street, New York. The store was once a printers and book storage warehouse and is in an old industrial building, part of the SoHo architectural landscape.

Inspired by this characterful past, one of the features in store is a circular folly covered made from 8000 hard cover books and commissioned specifically for this space from the Mike Smith Studio.

Mike Smith works on art installations and ‘art fabrications’ and has worked with artists such as Rachel Whiteread, Gary Hume, Mark Wallinger and Jake and Dinos Chapman, all of whom were the ‘Young British Artists’ of their generation. It’s certainly no ordinary piece of store furniture…
