Overview

A DIY book nook kit that builds into a lit miniature Japanese style alley, with lanterns, blossom, tiny shop fronts and a cobbled stone step, made to stand between the books on your shelf. A calm, absorbing project for a winter evening and a lovely Christmas present for anyone who reads or makes. About the name: Quedlinburg is a town in the Harz in Germany whose winding old streets of half timbered houses are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Built by you

The kit comes as 249 wooden pieces with the small details to finish the scene, and takes about four hours to put together. It is a slow, satisfying project to enjoy over an evening or two with a cup of tea, and it is suitable for ages 14 and up.

A small light in the dark

Once finished, switch on the built in lights and the alley glows like a street at dusk. On a bookshelf, a bedside table or a desk it becomes a little window into another place, and the part everyone stops to look at.

03

A Christmas present with meaning

For the reader, the maker or the person who has everything, it is a gift that becomes an evening's project and then a piece that stays on the shelf for years.
