  1. DesignMarketo presents a popup bookshop for Idea Books


    For its second show, DesignMarketo has been commisionned by Idea Books for their popup bookshop on St Martins Lane Hotel, for which we worked with designer Lars Frideen. Lars came with some genius idea and the shop looks trully nice. Idea Books gathered a rare selection of books and magazine. The selection is presented using Lars Frideen’s 15° shelves system which is working as a jewel box for those volumes.
