StudioHinge has designed The Forest of Knowledge – CCI Library in Mumbai, India.

The design for the new library at the Cricket Club of India was informed by research into what a library in post-Covid digital times could be.

"Conceived during the lockdown, it goes beyond books to propose the library as a house of knowledge, providing an opportunity for people to come together and learn," said StudioHinge.

On a conceptual level, the design draws from nature, in particular the notion of sitting under a tree with a book.

The design also borrows from the beautiful canopy formed by the ficus and gulmohur trees found in the adjacent street.

This project has been longlisted in the workplace interior (small) category of Dezeen Awards 2023.
