BOOKSTORE

The ICICLE bookstore presents more than 500 carefully selected books to explore a philosophy inspired by nature, and to provide food for thought to everyone. Dedicated to the art of living, Chinese thought and 21st-century China, it brings together both classic and contemporary authors, offering a broad perspective on Chinese culture and traditions, as well as the fields they have influenced and the foreign writers they have inspired.

Made from walnut panels, the ICICLE bookstore evokes the Ming dynasty bookcases. Furniture from this period is renowned for its simple elegance, with clean lines and harmonious proportions that enhance the natural beauty of materials—an ancestral yet resolutely contemporary approach to design and craftsmanship. The wood grain unveils outstanding contrasts of colours, which enfold the space in all simplicity. Faithful to Chinese tradition, the sobriety of the lines calls for clarity of mind.
