Librairie Artazart – temple for graphic arts, images & design
Lovers of graphic design, photography, advertising, webdesign and typography find their inspiration in the rays of Artazart. They are one of the best graphic arts bookshops on the avant-garde scene.
Behind the flourescent orange facade, along the canal Saint-Martin, this temple of innovative culture opens the doors to paradise in a visual world… Initially an online bookshop, Artazart soon became the reference in graphic design by allowing its customers to browse books and catalogues online. Their phenomenal success led them to open the bookshop in 2000, in one of Paris’s trendiest areas along the canal Saint-Martin.
The bookshop boosts our creativity and curiosity. Artazart has also a range of accessories and one of their favorite objects is the redesign of the Gras lamp.
