Saisons Café
Saisons Café is a bookshelf “booknook” designed for MINICITY.
A booknook (also called a bookshelf insert) is a miniature, self-contained diorama that slides between books and turns the gap on your shelf into a window to another world.
This piece imagines a century-old café: a calm, timeless interior arranged across two levels, with a sunken lower floor that makes the space feel sheltered, cozy, and quietly inviting. Warm sightlines lead the eye upward, creating depth in a compact footprint.
Status & Recognition
Now available on Amazon and warmly received at the Frankfurt Book Fair (Frankfurter Buchmesse).
My Role
I led the project end-to-end: concept, spatial design, and production. I rapidly learned Rhino for 3D modeling, then delivered the laser-cutting sheets for manufacturing and a clear assembly manual—ensuring the design could move smoothly from idea to finished product.
