Selfridges opens a public “Silence Room” in London through March 1st. Designed by Alex Cochrane Architects, it’s a minimal (and beautiful) space with built-in seating that is almost entirely covered in felt. Whether you sit, stand or lie down is up to you. Spend five or ten minutes (or a few hours) there in silence. No shoes or phones aloud.
