WOW!HOUSE
THE LIBRARY
London, UK
From 3 June to 3 July, we unveiled a sensory-rich library at WOW!house 2025, the annual design showcase held at Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour. Our library was an unconventional experience, a design from an entirely new perspective. Visitors could expect the unexpected, enjoying a moment to pause and reflect.
A space where design, emotion, and sound converge. Titled “A440 Hz – Connecting in Silence”, the room draws its design narrative from the universal tuning note heard just before a concert begins — an emotionally charged moment, filled with anticipation and presence. The space becomes a reflection on sound: not just what is heard, but how it’s felt. Here, the conventional idea of the library is upended — less a hushed repository of books and more a retreat designed for deep listening and layered experience.
At the heart of the design is a question: how does sound shape a space? In today’s urban landscape, true silence is not the absence of sound but the art of controlling it. Informed by a love of music — particularly jazz — the room explores the interplay between quiet and expression. The result is a design that captures that moment of breath before a performance begins, a space full of intent and stillness.
Throughout the space are bespoke furniture pieces from Pirajean Lees’ Editions collection — each one crafted to stand the test of time. Designed in-house and realised in close collaboration with expert makers, each piece reflects a commitment to material integrity and artisanal quality.
True to the studio's narrative design philosophy, every project begins not with visual references, but with a story. In this room, that story is physical and atmospheric - told through materials, textures, acoustics, and emotional tone.
