Mirrored ceilings have transformed a Chinese bookstore into fairy mazes

Just one detail can radically transform an interior, and Chinese architects know about it. The Zhongshuge bookstore chain has been transformed by mirrored ceilings. Stairways and shelves are displayed in them, creating a sense of a different reality. Ordinary bookstores have turned into fabulous Escher-style enchanted labyrinths that you don't want to leave.

See what stunning bookstore designs are being created by Shanghai architects.

Each branch of the Chinese book chain has a uniquely organized space with mirrored ceilings that display visitors, books on shelves, and stairs. It seems that all this is not happening in the store, but in the drawing by Maurits Escher.

In the branches located in Yangzhou, mirrors are placed not only on the ceilings, but also on the floor. These decorative elements create mirages - representations of city canals, rivers and lakes.
