#Reference Library

‘I think it’s a good way of remembering that in a time of media domination and information overload, all of the things that we feel are defining of our own characters create the connective tissue of an entire generation or society’. —Mindy Seu ‘Reference Library’, conceived by Apartamento in collaboration with JIL SANDER (@jilsander), is an exhibition for Milan Design Week 2026, featuring books from around the world that serve as personal references for the people we admire. Sixty books. Sixty perspectives. One of the books in the exhibition is Annie Ernaux’s ‘The Years’, selected by Mindy Seu (@mindyseu), an artist and technologist based in Los Angeles and New York City. 📅 Monday, April 20–Friday, April 24 🕕11am–5pm 📍Via Luca Beltrami 5 Music by LaFrancesssa (@lafrancesssa) #milandesignweek #referencelibrary

Libraries are sanctuaries of human thought, where the hushed atmosphere serves as a reverent backdrop to the vast accumulation of knowledge. Their beauty lies not just in the architectural grandeur of towering mahogany shelves or the soft glow of reading lamps, but in the profound silence that bridges the gap between centuries of voices. Every spine on a shelf represents a gateway to another world, offering a quiet intimacy that allows a reader to commune with the greatest minds of history. In these spaces, time seems to slow down, transforming a simple room into a living map of the human experience, where the scent of aged paper and the steady rhythm of turning pages create a timeless elegance that no digital screen can ever truly replicate. #edinburgh #library #literary #booksbooksbooks #readerlife

Shelving is the laundry of the library. My cart is super full today. How long will it take me to shelve the fiction (while also pausing along the way to do more important tasks)? 😅😅😅 #library #bookshelf #asmr #librarian #books
