Simone Book Services curates books and printed matter for reading culture, teams up with rare brands to bring a literary dimension to their communication and branding, and commissions designs for the way we read. Its space acts as a showroom, a store and a gallery, and is designed to transform with each intended experience.

I.About

Since February 2026

The practice

Simone Book Services is a curatorial practice for reading culture, founded in Copenhagen in February 2026 by Tugce Kayar Subay and Ibo Subay. It curates rare and out-of-print books, limited runs and magazines in a space without categories in the museum quarter; commissions designs around the reading experience with Copenhagen designers; and uses books and printed matter in communication for brands, a practice it calls literary branding.
