Foldaway Bookshop - Behind the scenes

It was all hands on deck here at Campaign cutting and folding 58 giant sheets of cardboard (4700mm x 2170mm) to make the Foldaway Bookshop.

Thank you to all our amazing helpers. We couldn't have done it without you.

Inspired by the open pages of a book. We wanted to do something that could be recycled, so we used cardboard.

Along with giant paperclips and post-it notes, visiting feels like being in a giant book.

We even used giant pencils!

Big Clips kindly provided by our friends Arash and Kelly.

We built a cardboard bookshop

Campaign created the bespoke interior and graphics for the Foldaway Bookshop. We built the walls, shelving and sales counter entirely from cardboard which will be recycled at the end of the Festival. Stocked by RIBA Bookshops, Foldaway Bookshop is a specialist architecture bookshop.


Book recommendations from a selection of London's practising architects and critics are displayed throughout the store.

Projections of clips from seminal films featuring modern architecture and the city will animate the space, creating a lively and sociable space that will host a variety of events including book launches, signings, and talks.
