Tsuranari



Designed for a traveling picture bookshop. By stacking two mountain-shaped units, the bookshelf creates diagonal lines of sight, allowing both children and adults to browse books from the same perspective. This reduces visibility differences caused by height and enables children to pick up books on their own. The slanted shelves also allow for spine-out and face-out displays, encouraging direct engagement with books.
