Discovered via Sight Unseen: The Book Club in London, an East End hybrid bar/performance space for “drinkers and thinkers,” offering cocktails, art, brunch, fashion, lunch, film, music, beer, poetry, wine, workshops–and ping pong. Designers Shai Akram and Andrew Haythornthwaite sourced a jumble of mismatched furniture (including vintage pieces by Ercol) from local antiques markets. Go to The Book Club for more information. To see more images of the project and to read an interview with the designers, go to Sight Unseen.
