A9A Studio has renovated a bookstore in Chengdu, China, which features sinuous bookshelves and desks.

The studio was restricted in being unable to modify the exterior glass structure, while the interior needed to be reformed.

The concept of the magnetic field was created by dynamic spiral grains of the vinyl record, which have been integrated into the interior space of the store.

The designers have emphasised the dynamic interaction between the space and readers, based on their experiential needs. Using horseshoe-shaped, magnet-like mobile book desks has achieved flexibility in the use of space.

This project has been longlisted in the large retail interior category of Dezeen Awards 2020.
