Milan’s Design Library Café has taken the Uward for Best New Café while the library itself is now one of that city’s main design destinations. A second branch was opened in Shanghai, and just over a couple of weeks ago, a third one in Istanbul. Just like the previous two, the Turkish city’s Design Library offers a collection of design publications, while promoting new concepts and ideas in design. It is also expected to become a creative hub in the city, in what used to be a hat factory. Designers, architects, artists, or simply fans of style and design may consult thousands of publications (just over 3000 to be exact), including almost 2000 books and the entire back catalogues of international magazines focused on design.
