I think it’s great, but got the map effect from their sketch more so than the actual shelves at first. I do really like it though. I love yellow and wish it was seen more.

Thats the kind of modern design that really gives me a boner. I would love to put one of my books into that yellow thing!
Those guys really know how to make a travelstore going!
The dog is wonderful. Very nice tail.

This is growing on me … it gives me a NewYorkish feeling. Dont know if its the map structur or the “yellowcabyellow”. I feel like traveling and especially to NY. The interior is just splendid and inspirering. The concistancy of the yellow really lifts the books out of the shelf into my hand and I hope it gives a more sales effect to Vagabond. Genious Smånsk!

A very good concept and functional too. A very small room becomes larger – I have seen the shop in teal life. Shows originality.
I would like too have a shop like that!

At first I didn’t really like the sharp yellow color but somehow you just can’t end up loving it. For me it’s the lines on the floor that make the full “picture” of a map, without them it would simply not have been the same. It’s just wonderful and If I ever go to Stockholm I’ll be sure to go to that store.
Also, I do not agree with Modular, I think the dog adds a perfect touch and make the picture more alive.

The guys at Smånsk are simply fucking amazing. A fantastic apporach to interior design, that doesn’t feel datestamped at any given time what so ever.

They redid a friends office some time ago, and they – the friend – keep getting positive response every single time new clients walk through the door.

I’m not a massive fan of yellow but I think it works really well here. I really like the concept, good fit for the purpose and not over-worked but as someone else mentioned it does mean some of the shelves are unusable..

Utterly unrelated but it’s just reminded me of something that irked me last night while watching The Day After Tomorrow – they’re trapped in a library during a ice-age like drop in temprature. They need to build a fire, what do they use? Books.
Now, why the hell would you burn paper when you could be burning the SHELVES?! They weren’t even pretty, bespoke design shelves or anything! Pish!

I have to agree, this is pretty amazing. Finally a concept with a clear idea! I like it.

This idea is outstanding! And being able to show it like this.. even more so.
