the corner store (scrumptious reads)...

Q: What do you get when architects start playing around with a few thousand coffee cups?

A: A fabulous new bookstore, of course. 

Julie & Reyna of Scrumptious Reads (South Brisbane) commissioned a sculptural wonderland for their bookshop fit-out. The entire space is lined with paper cups, stacked along the walls and forming the bases of shelves and display tables. I love it ! It definitely draws on the House of Cards vibe, whilst feeling very grounded at the same time.  It's worth checking out their installation images here...

A specialty bookshop with a focus on edible delights, Scrumptious Reads stock foodie books & related gifts. What's more, co-owner Julie is quite the rubber stamp connoisseur and supporter of local designers !!    .....oh my goodness, what more could i ask for ??  

So what designs did they select for their foodie customers ?*  Cow (mmm), Sheep (mmm), Chicken (mmm) and my favourite.... Rabbit & Mushroom (stew).

They love their apples, so I've carved them a little something...
