Green Factory NAVER Library & Café

The first two floors of the NAVER headquarters have been transformed into a library, where bookshelves and the ambience were designed differently to best suit each book category. The library has three different zones – a design zone, a magazine zone, and an encyclopaedia zone – and each has been created to offer maximised comfort and valuable experience to visitors. In the design zone, visitors can find quality design books while strolling down the forest of bookshelves. The “forest” concept has been shown literally with hydroponic plants that have been planted on top of each bookshelf, which provides proper humidity and pleasant air quality. In the magazine zone, visitors can skim through the latest magazines as if they were walking by shop windows on the streets. The bookshelves here are lower than conventional ones, which magazine readers can use as standing desks holding their note pads, pencils or cups. Using the concept of an “attic”, the encyclopaedia zone provides the pleasure of being deeply immersed in comprehensive knowledge in a cosy surrounding for a long time.
