vintage book covers on shelf transformed into stop-motion love story
Filmmaker Spike Jonze worked with handbag designer Olympia Le-Tan and director Simon Cahn to create Mourir Auprès de Toi. The end result is a beautiful stop motion animated short film set inside the Shakespeare & Company book shop in Paris.
“Designer Olympia Le-Tan’s embroidered clutch-bags spring to life in director Spike Jonze’s tragicomic stop-motion animation Mourir Auprès de Toi (To Die By Your Side). On a shelf in famed Parisian bookstore Shakespeare and Company, the star-crossed love story of a klutzy skeleton and his flame-haired amour plays out amidst Le-Tan’s illustrations of iconic first-edition book covers…” —Nowness
There is a video that gives a peak behind the scenes of making Mourir Auprès de Toi (To Die By Your Side).

Where books go to heaven…
The interior design of the Livraria da Vila bookstore in São Paulo, Brazil, was designed by the architect, Isay Weinfeld. From the ceiling to the street facing windows, to the doors created out of bookshelves, one is incapsulated with 360 degree view of books on the shelf. This is such creative use of space and displaying books that it seems as though each room has a different ambiance.
