D'Espresso Cafe
Inspired by the nearby Bryant Park Library, nema workshop designed a store that is straightforward in a simple twisted way – Take a library and turn it SIDEWAYS. The booklined shelves become the floor and ceilings and wood floor ends up on the walls meanwhile the pendants protrude sideways from the wall. To achieve the books shelves on the floor, the space is lined with sepia-toned full size photograph of books printed on custom tiles.

These Golden Books Are Not For Children
We've all read a Golden Book when we were kids. They're a line of illustrated children's books.
These Golden Books here though, are not exactly suitable for children.
Josh Cooley, an artist at Pixar, has been whipping these up in his spare time for the past two years. Most are pretty self-explanatory. If I have to tell you the movie though, you won't get the joke.
These are famous scenes from movies like The Godfather, The Graduate, Seven, Silence of the Lambs, The Terminator etc. All illustrated using the same style of the actual Golden Books.
Really cool Cooley!
