At
YTÅ, we believe in the essence of materials, in rationalizing resources
and in optimizing elements when creating our projects and environments.
This
library materialized these three concepts and created a space where high-tech
contrasts with raw matter, returns to its origins, creating dialogue and
balance.
The
space is made up of juxtaposed layers: the concrete base, the wooden shell, the
metal wrapping. All these elements are exposed, made evident and work together.
As the main character, certified pine wood boards run, fold and unfold
themselves throughout the room, wrapping the books in their own original media,
closing the cycle.
Technology here is in favour of the user, allowing him to control his whole
environment (audio, video, lighting, temperature, safety) through a tablet, as
well as connecting him to the world through online navigation. Making a
statement, vintage elements maintain the memory of the analogic and books and
magazines are available at arm’s reach, for they are, as we believe,
irreplaceable.
