Bookstore-Themed Tokyo Hotel Has 1,700 Books And Sleeping Shelves Next To Them

Some people love books, while other get put to sleep by them. Book and Bed Tokyo, a bookstore-themed hotel located on the seventh floor of a high-rise in Tokyo’s Ikebukuro neighborhood that opens its doors on November 5th, is perfect for both. Designed by Makoto Tanijiri and Ai Yoshida of Suppose Design Office, it promises to be the best place to curl up with a good book and fall asleep.

The ‘Compact’ compartment measures 205 x 85 centimeters (80.7 x 33.5 inches), and the ‘Standard’ is 205 x 129 centimeters (80.7 x 50.8 inches); the price per evening can be 3,800 to 6,000 yen (US$32 to $50), depending on the size of accommodations. On opening day, there will be 1,700 English and Japanese language books available, but the hotel plans to eventually expand its library to 3,000.

I Capture Miniature People Dealing With Everyday Life Objects

I’m a Thai designer named Poy. Photography is my passion – I’ve been doing that for several years and in a number of styles. Since last year, my inspiration came from one of The Japanese animation named “Arrietty” by Studio Ghibli. It was a story about miniature people that lived with humans all the time, but they haven’t even been noticed. This sparked my idea.
Actually, this kind of style is not something new. There are lots of famous photographers who have been taking photos of these little guys so I try to differentiate my work by playing with objects, tools, fruits, etc. Highlight on a surrealistic idea that is built around imagination.
Hope you guys enjoy my work.
