Reimagining the Joy of Reading in a Digital World

Retail Branding

Architectural Design

Customer Journey

In an era dominated by e-readers and digital platforms, the Madrigall Group (Gallimard) asked Lonsdale to re-enchant the bookstore experience—by focusing on what no online platform can replicate: the sensory and human pleasure of reading.

At the iconic Librairie Gallimard on Boulevard Raspail, Lonsdale designed a space that blends tradition and modernity: tall wooden shelves, classic rolling ladders, subtle digital screens, and a fluid layout across 170 m². With over 35,000 titles, the space invites exploration and quiet discovery, with dedicated areas for literary events and author meetups.

Inspired by the “Amazon Can’t Do” philosophy led by bookstore director Philippe Touron, the redesign champions a warm, luminous, and reader-focused environment, where curation and human connection are central.

Results: a 20% increase in foot traffic at Librairie Gallimard, a winning strategy that turns the bookstore into a living space for culture, curiosity, and community.
