Alvar Aalto

Helsinki

This bookshop is part of the Stockmann department store, designed by the famous Finnish architect Alvar Aalton in 1961.
A fascinating building and especially good on rainy days...



And last year was bubbly.

Interesting; pretty much all of the department stores here have given up on having book departments other than very rudimentary ones with the latest best sellers and Lonely Planets. Yet this one seems to be well populated. I'm wondering if the volume of Finish digital books is rather less than those in English (so far), such that the digital tsunami is yet to hit the retailers.
This retailer certainly understands the power of bright lights, well captured here.
