Meanwhile, those who aren’t into books or stationery can shop for international fashion brands, participate in hands-on handicraft experiences or kick back and relax at their cafe.
For its grand opening, more than 30 arts and cultural activities are to be held at the store including music performances. Eslite Gallery, which has previously been invited to the world-renowned Art Basel International Art fair, will curate an art exhibition with well-known artists during its opening period.
Befitting of its Bukit Bintang location, Eslite Spectrum enlisted the help of Taiwanese architect Powen Hsiao –– who previously worked on Louis Vuitton’s furniture collection exhibition ‘Objets Nomades’ –– to design the store.
They have also worked with Malaysian design brand Loka Made to create an artist’s impression of the bookstore in a style that appears like hand-paintings.
Check out a teaser of their store at their pop-up appearance at the Pingmin Market from 5-6 November.
We can’t wait to visit it for ourselves!
