Books and Bars: LA's Thirst for Literature (and Style) is the article I found on styleture.com. The article focuses on the trendy movement of incorporating extensive bookshelves into LA based bars. It interested me because of the obvious juxtaposition of literature and alcohol, but as the article points out, the two aren't exactly mutually exclusive. Some of the best authors of our time were heavily influenced by drink. I think the article does a good job of pointing out the influence of trends on interior design. Trends impact design through human cultural experience. Some bar patrons prefer the revitalized notion of sophistication books bring to bars. Adding books to the decor of a bar is an effective means of manipulating the aesthetics and atmosphere of a bar.
