bookshelf

Here was the image of a book and bookshelf, but with no surviving words, no life in it.

Filled with sumptuous seating, a patterned ceiling and artfully arranged bookshelves backed with floral wallpaper, the library is a mix of new and old, including the home’s original tiled fireplace.

The book was located, not in the museum stores, but on a bookshelf in the office, next to other books bound in more traditional materials.

"Our favourite puzzle artist is Colin Thompson. He does different bookshelves with people and creatures, and as you build the world's reveal themselves."

The bookshelves of the 1941 apartment are filled with family photographs, books and personal mementos that make the couple happy.
