The Smell of Book is a sales office interior located in Chengdu, China. The design uses the form and lines of the traditional Chinese book scroll as an art installation. The scroll shape also acts as the main circulation line, guiding visitors from the sales office on the second floor down to the model room on the first floor. Materials include mirror stainless steel, metal, acrylic, white stone, curved mirror and terrazzo. Large French windows reduce visual barriers and link the interior with the outdoor scenery.
