Not quite the same but still awesome: Boekencafe Schrijvers in Eindhoven (also in the Netherlands), where the whole place is full of bookcases and books. A nice place!
It is beautiful, and a very nice environment for things like book clubs, writing groups or (in my case) language groups. There's something about being surrounded by books that feels very cozy. :D
It's certainly pretty - though part of me would have really liked if the book spines were facing outwards, though maybe that wouldn't be as structurally sound?
I'm always a bit sad when I see books thrown away, so I think this is a great way to repurpose them... and to make people consider the physical nature of the book, since we usually concentrate on the story it holds, not how it holds it.
