Wexis is a children’s library centred around the idea of softness and transformation. The design challenges the rigidity of traditional bookshelves by reimagining them as fluid, sculptural forms that shape spaces for reading, play and exploration.
Inspired by the malleability of wax, the space embraces gentle transitions and continuous surfaces. Curved geometries guid movement organically, allowing seating, circulation, and activity zones to flow into one another - creating an intuitive and unrestricted environment for children.
Comfort and safety remain integral to the design. Rounded edges, warm materiality, and integrated seating foster a calm yet engaging atmosphere, while a central feature acts as both a spatial anchor and an interactive element, encouraging connection and movement within the space.
Wexis shifts away from the conventional library model, instead creating an environment where children can explore, engage, and simply enjoy being present.

Final Plots
Perspectives
Digital perspectives were used to clearly show how I envision the material interacting within the space.
Base Model with Inserts
I created a base model with removable inserts to physically represent how my material would appear in the space, serving as a tactile counterpart to my digital model.
Additional models
We used these models to explore how yarn could shape the space through installations, seating, and threshold elements. Each model helped visualize the material’s potential to create playful, tactile experiences within the children's library.
