The Readellion bookstore offers a selection of design-oriented books and magazines. The 44 sq.m space is designed to be easily reorganized based on the constantly changing and expanding content. In the middle of the space, there's a custom-designed suspended island that can be raised by a pulley to create room for presentations or book club meetings.​​​​​​​

During working hours, it serves as a display for new releases. The side walls feature an adjustable system of pillars with custom-designed shelves for books and merchandise.​​​​​​​

The storage stand, following the same structural system, is finished with cellular polycarbonate to gently separate the main area from the back office.​​​​​​​

The exhibition surfaces are made of galvanized steel as well as painted "readellion blue" panels to emphasize the displayed content.
