A book is a garden you can keep in your pocket.
– Arabic proverb –
The aim of the project was to create a space in order to convey the typical feeling of warmth of the domestic atmosphere.
If the Treccani Encyclopedia defines the Habitat as “Term borrowed from ecology, where it refers to the spatial niche within which a species finds the best conditions to survive” it is easily understandable to combine this condition of relaxation and sharing to the BOOK. Ubik Bookshop, in Benevento, where the domestic atmosphere, in their passages, not so functional, but emotional, are the setting, not only to the sale of a book, but to its knowledge and value as a speaker of culture regardless of historical periods: Armchairs, carpets, design lights, wall lamps redesigned around the pillars just to dematerialize them allow the creation, with different shades of light, to create moments of concentration without necessarily dividing the space. The book then becomes the main element of all spaces: as relaxation, drinking a coffee and as a journey, exploring a garden.
