FOLIO · THE READING ROOM
Publishing house / bookshop
A quiet website for a bookshop or a fiction publisher: the reader opens the first page as in a library and only then chooses a book.

Who it is for
A small bookshop or a publisher of fiction and essays with loyal readers. An ordinary store with a grid of covers misses the main thing: the reading atmosphere people come for.
How it sells
The visitor moves in on an open book on a table and reads the first page straight away. Then a shelf with prices, a reading room with excerpts from every book, and an edition card with the binding and format. People buy the book they have already started reading.
How it looks
Deep forest green, walnut and brass, with cloth-bound books, like an evening in an old library. Everything moves slowly, and while reading nothing distracts from the text.
How it differs
The most intimate FOLIO: the reading room itself, with night mode and an excerpt’s contents, is at the centre, rather than a bright storefront or the story of a print shop.
How enquiries work
The customer enters a name, contact details, city and Nova Poshta branch. The order is not sent in the demo; at launch it will arrive by email or in Telegram.
