Jetlag Books Beijing Sanlitun Stores 时差书店三里屯双店

Founded in 2020, Jetlag Books is an independent bookstore in Sanlitun, Beijing, specializing in books and magazines on travel, fashion and design. In a space of 40 square meters, the bookstore needed to accommodate a shelving system, seating/reading area, and a coffee bar. To highlight the theme of the bookstore, we decided to focus on lighting to visualize the “jetlag” through manipulating the time perception as well as creating a sensation of weightlessness.

时差书店北京三里屯店创办于2020年,是一家位于北京三里屯的独立书店,主要为旅行常客和创意人士服务,出售关于旅行、时尚和设计的书籍和杂志。项目需要在40平米的空间中,容纳陈列、阅读、和咖啡吧三种功能。我们选择了“光”作为设计的核心元素,从时间感和失重感两个感知层面来呈现“时差”的概念。

The dark blue interior and the bright-white indirect lighting eliminate the influence of the changing natural light from outside almost completely, creating a constant, neutral, time-static atmosphere. The primary lighting is a series of LED light bands installed behind the shelving system that takes over three walls. The display walls consist of steel brackets and two layers of opal PVC sheets in-between, which filter the LED light from behind into a soft, homogenous glow, providing plenty of light for reading in the store, while also creating a slight sensation of weightlessness, as the lighting produces a floating, no-shadow effect.

白色间接光源和深蓝色基调组成的内部环境,几乎完全消除了外部光线的影响,营造出恒定、中性、脱离了昼夜变换的时间静止感。书店最主要的光源来自环绕室内一周,占据三面墙的书架陈列区。陈列墙体由型钢支架和支架间乳白色聚酯乙烯板两部分构成。聚酯乙烯板背侧安装LED光带,灯光经过两层聚酯乙烯板过滤,柔和而均匀地照亮室内空间,无影效果使人产生轻微的失重感。光源一方面包裹空间、突出了陈列,同时也为阅读提供了充足的光线。

A flexible shelving system with three types of shelving elements is designed to adapt the different sizes and displays of books and magazines. The body of the shelf is formed from 2mm thick steel plate and is secured to the steel profile support by metal hooks on both sides. The shelving partitions can be therefore easily moved and re-arranged to give the display a fresh look. In the middle of the store is a white marble central table that is used as a display for selective books, echoed by a bar counter of the same material located to the right of the entrance. Two benches at the window and a seating nook at the entrance make the most of the compact space, inviting the visitors to sit and read, or simply enjoy a cup of coffee.

陈列系统的主体由特殊设计的书架构成,对应书籍和杂志的不同大小和陈列方式,书架搁板有三种不同的尺寸和形式。搁板主体由2毫米钢板压制弯曲而成,通过两侧金属挂钩固定在型钢支架上。店主可以根据陈列的要求随意变换书架隔板的位置,从而让书架陈列墙呈现出不同的面貌。而需要重点展示及经常更新的精选书单,则陈列于书店中央的白色大理石平台上。使用同样材质的吧台位于入口右侧。左侧的窗台边设有两张长椅,同时在书店门口的半户外空间也设置了座位,在紧凑的空间中,灵活地兼顾了阅读、喝咖啡、或二者兼有的顾客的需求。
