The store's interior design is based on the concepts of "nature" and "inorganic," and the ceiling is bare of pipes and other materials. Because of this inorganic construction, the colors of the covers of each book stand out and one can feel the warmth of the books, which are filled with the creator's thoughts and feelings.
