Held by Many
Held By Many is a bar that reimagines how Gen Z connects with books.
Created as a low-pressure social space, the project encourages reading to feel emotionally meaningful and part of everyday life again. Responding to today’s fast-paced digital culture, it explores how stories can reconnect people through shared experiences and human interaction.
Held By Many is built around the idea that books carry traces of the people who held them before us. Through personal memories, recommendations and exchanges between strangers, the project allows guests to leave pieces of themselves behind for someone else to discover through stories and connection.
