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.
