The stunning Scarlet hotel. |
Of course we all love books but sometimes we also sell books by the yard, so to speak. Previous clients have included the Eden Project, The Eden Cafe, La Cote and we also provided all the books for the Richard Curtis film “About Time” as well as a German production of Peter Pan.
We have seen our books transformed into chairs, flying bird installations or as simple beautiful props. Working on the About Time project was fun but pulling 1000 books together on a visual theme in just a week was a big ask but we did it.

Flying books in the Eden cafe in St Austell – very Harry Potter |
We have also provided the library for the Scarlet Hotel as well as Bedruthan, in both cases we were given a few titles and then asked to build collections around those themes. Again, these were really enjoyable projects as they appealed to my previous incarnation of Librarian.
Getting some books together. |
So if you ever need a shelf of pretty books, or a load of books that will be carved up or need a whole library built up please get in touch. we love projects like this and can generally pull something out of the bag.
All those books and many, many more came from Hurley Books! |
