The cafeteria area, on the first floor, is furnished with Cappellini key pieces. Spring chairs by the Bouroullec Brothers, the Cap Chair by Jasper Morrison and Alodia stools by Todd Brache help create a pleasant and peacefully intimate environment.

For those wishing to stay longer to attend the bookshop’s many presentations and readings, the Lochness tables by Piero Lissoni and Lotus 2 by Jasper Morrison provide ideal support.

With its contemporary structure and concept, the Sanlian Bookstore is one of the city's most important cultural landmarks.
