Shibuya Bookstore Interiors by Hiroshi Nakamura

We've had books on the brain lately, looking at libraries, homes and architectural masterpieces for shelving inspiration. Our latest addition to the bookshelf file are these incredible photos of Tokyo's Shibuya Bookstore posted on Momoy.com...

 
 

Designed by Hiroshi Nakamura, the store occupies a large open space with a glass front. We love the way the design combines modular shelves with antique glass cases and sculptural one-of-a-kind formations. The white palette creates a sense of cohesiveness throughout the store.

Very cool! It's an eclectic mix brought together by it all being white! Maybe I can visit Japan someday... *sigh*

I love it! I do hope that greyish piece in the first picture is attached to the wall though since the one leg is on a stack of books!

Do you think they painted a REAL Memphis 1980s bookshelf in picture 2?
