Autumn Book Room Introduction
Chiu Shu Studio is a non-commercial bookstore, purely established by chance by Qiu Siqi, the owner of the Taichung 107 Gallery, as a cultural exchange platform and literary salon for the youth of Chiayi. The space gathers elements of coffee, music, and books. Under the transformation described by artists as "non-utilitarian," this acute triangular old house stands amidst the traffic on Linye West Road, resembling a ship that sets sail at sunset, dreaming together while awake. Whether immersing in a sea of books, contemplating in silence, or lounging at the bar for a caffeine fix or a clash of contemporary thoughts, Chiu Shu Studio does not have specific business items; once on board, one can unleash creativity freely. One can appreciate the atypical bookstore space crafted by the designer Cai Zhixian, whether in the dialogue between new and old materials, the mix of rigid lines and soft curves, the tilt of the staircase, the light and shadows coming through the window, the freely displayed books, and ultimately focusing on the suspended ship mechanism on the third floor, located at the pinnacle of the acute triangle. Watching the sunset from the bow at dusk offers a spectacular view. Book lovers should carefully treasure hunt, as these books are the private collection of founder Qiu Siqi, selflessly provided for reading. If you meet him at Chiu Shu Studio, be sure to sit down and chat, as this is the right way to open up the literary salon.
