Foldaway Bookshop

Foldaway Bookshop

Opening for just 13 days, Foldaway Bookshop is a pop-up specialist bookshop created for the London Festival of Architecture 2010.

Stocked by RIBA Bookshops, it will be a specialist architecture bookshop featuring the latest must-have high quality publications and the most coveted architecture classics.

The collection will include vintage publications and a collection of artists' books selected by Handmade & Bound, which are architectural in form or document life in contemporary urban spaces.

Foldaway Bookshop will have a bespoke interior created by design studio Campaign.

The walls, shelving and sales counter will be constructed entirely from cardboard and recycled at the end of the Festival.

Eurban's Carbon Cube and the Flexible Love Chair, which is made entirely of card, will provide comfortable seating in store.

Central to the Bookshop will be a display of vintage copies of Architectural Design, sourced from the personal collection of the late Monica Pidgeon, who edited the journal 1945-75 and was responsible for establishing it as the premier international architectural magazine.

Book recommendations from a selection of London's practising architects and critics will be displayed throughout the store to enhance the browsing experience.
