‘Big Book’ – the third in the chain of children’s stores in Odessa, Ukraine. However, this store is fundamentally different from its counterparts in design and content. To develop a new interior design concept, JK Lab Architects was invited, specializing in the design of children’s stores, restaurants and hairdressers. The store sells books and eco-friendly toys from around the world.
The central element of the concept is a large tree (the ‘book’ in Russian is the name of the tree species) inscribed in the interior. In this case, the tree is made of metal, painted white. The interior is dominated by white with patches of pink shelving and bright upholstered furniture for children, also developed by JK Lab Architects.
