The owner, Joey, is a Singaporean who has fallen in love with Hong Kong and works as an architectural designer. Driven by a passion for design books, he established this rare design book specialty store in Hong Kong. Joey has reserved one-third of the store's over 100 square meters for exhibition space, while also providing many simple seating areas and allowing guests to browse through various books and magazines freely.
