A Haven for Design Thinking

  • Library

    Welcome to Charlotte’s most intimate Design Library! Located in the heart of Derita, the Library boasts a small 111 square foot space with bookshelves and seating. Each title is hand-picked with the intention of getting our readers a seminal introduction to the Culture and how it has given rise to the Designs we see today.
