At the end of 2019, we completed a project that was different \u2014 yet deeply meaningful to us: we transformed an old tree stump into a mini street library<\/strong>, located in the heart of Shumen. For us, this wasn\u2019t just a design initiative \u2014 it was a gesture toward the community<\/strong>, merging culture, aesthetics, and social engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

From stump to a place for ideas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new mini library can be found in the small park on \u201cSaedinenie\u201d Street, near the Military School. It's hard to miss \u2014 in the core of the old stump, we embedded a book cabinet accessible to all passersby<\/strong>. At night, the structure glows with integrated lighting, creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere for reading even after dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project was made possible with the support of the Shumen Municipal Youth Council, the Municipality of Shumen<\/strong>, as well as with the personal contributions and hands-on efforts of volunteers<\/strong>. For us, this collaboration was a powerful example of how a community can come together to create something beautiful, lasting, and meaningful \u2014 driven by shared values and collective effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

How does the library work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The mechanism is simple but impactful:
Take a book, leave another \u2014 preferably with an eco theme.<\/strong>
<\/strong> This way, the library functions as a living space for the exchange of ideas and knowledge<\/strong>, while gently promoting awareness of nature and sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the books were generously donated by the \u201cSt. Chilingirov\u201d Regional Library<\/strong> and Regional Inspectorate of Environment and Water \u2013 Shumen<\/strong>, for which we are extremely grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n

Design with meaning<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We believe that design should not be limited to interiors. It can be a tool for positive change in the urban environment<\/strong> \u2014 to provoke, to engage, and to bring people together. With this street library, we proved that even a small intervention can have great value when made with attention to detail and a sense of social responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love 2 Design \u2013 rooted here, with a vision for tomorrow<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether we\u2019re participating in international exhibitions like imm cologne<\/strong>or creating a street library in our hometown, we always pursue the same mission:
To use design as a medium for inspiration, culture, and human connection<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
