Warby Parkeris a brand that lovesbooks. It's evident in the eyewear company's retail stores, which are decorated with volumes of classic literature and library-inspired ladders and shelves. It's evident in thebrand's name, which was inspired by two characters from Jack Kerouac'sThe Dharma Bums.And it's evident in the company's Manhattan headquarters, which prominently features a massive staircase lined with books that are available for employees to "check out." Or, if they simply need some in-office quiet time, there's a secret room behind the staircase that contains nothing more than a chair and, of course, a bookshelf. And if they forgot their reading glasses, well, the office has that covered, too.
