AEQUO is designing the interior of a new, urban library for the Lelystad Library in the heart of a new area in the city centre. Library Lelystad is Europe’s first Department Store of Knowledge. In the design retail elements are taken from their usual context. This creates a new tension field, revolving around temptation, inspiration and encounters. The library, 3.650 m2 and 3 storeys, is divided into 27 shop-in-shops based on interest profiles each with their own colour and sphere. Through triggering-store communication [windowdummies, mannequins with T-shirts as communication aid, lightboxes and overhead communication.] the attraction of the product itself is the central focus.

With the opening of the Library Lelystad, the innovative, Aat Vos designed case called aatvos | K02 is simultaneously launched. This case is constructed entirely of extrudated aluminium, and can be manufactured in every width and lenght.
