Copyright Gent

By 1605 Publishers

"Without using any ornament, the subtle balance of structures and furniture such as display cases, reading lamps gives Copyright the feel of a contemporary book shop and the air of a traditional library".

Copyright Gent Vincent van Duysen

"Copyright Bookshop moved from a small shop in a narrow alley to the new ModeNatie-building, where it is part of The Fashion Museum in Antwerp (MOMU). The art, fashion, and architecture bookshop was conceived as a reinterpretation of a traditional library  in conformity with the neoclassical character of the building."
