Paris: the joy of reading

The famous Parisian department store Le Bon Marché Rive Gauche is hosting two gigantic figures that celebrate the joy of reading and books. The celebrated editor Sarah Andelman, of Just an Idea Books, and artist Jean Jullien teamed up to create the cheeky booklovers. Mise En Page is a lighthearted literary exhibition and pop-up shop that sees Jullien’s Paper People series spring to life. The two enormous figures preside over the multi-story department store on Paris’s left bank, reminding shoppers of the joy of reading.

Mise En Page includes a library of the artist’s monographs designed in his singular two-dimensional style, alongside kiosks from reader-favorite bookstores like The Strand and Pillow-Cat Books in New York City, and Book/Shop in Oakland.
