« A dépassé mes attentes. Très beau produit. Super bien emballé. C'est un peu laborieux, mais le résultat est incroyable. »
One more lit window on your bookshelf.
A summer evening on a Colmar street: the half-timbering stands out against the darkening sky, and geraniums spill over the wooden balcony. Colmar House brings this scene to your bookshelf: a miniature book nook you build yourself, glowing with a warm light when evening falls.
An Alsatian book nook you build yourself
This is our only Alsatian scene: the half-timbering, the flower-filled balcony, the late-day light on the stone. 216 pieces, beginner level: the build follows the facade floor by floor, and the geraniums go on last, one by one. Three to five hours to bring a piece of Alsace to your shelf.
Who is it for? A calm, hands-on hobby for your evenings: hands busy, mind at ease. An original gift you build and keep—especially for anyone who loves France, its villages and its old stone houses.
Dimensions: package 22.5 × 16.1 × 9.2 cm

Your questions about the Colmar House book nook
Your questions about this kit
How long does it take to build?
Allow 3 to 5 hours, in one go or in short twenty-minute sessions.
Does the facade light up floor by floor?
No: Colmar House runs on a single warm LED, which gives the whole scene its end-of-day glow. If you're looking for several separate light points, take a look at The Riviera Villa instead, with one LED per room.

How the Colmar House book nook compares to our other kits
Compared with the other Nooko kits, Colmar House is the entry point to our group of large scenes: 216 pieces, versus 223 for Kyoto Alley and 242 for Santorini Lane, while all three take the same 3 to 5 hour build and share the same Beginner level. Fewer pieces for the same build time means bigger parts in your hands and a more relaxed pace. To step up in detail: Santorini Lane.
A world to build. A light to switch on.

Il est arrivé à temps, sans boîte, sans la pile pour allumer la lumière, et sans colle (le manuel indiquait qu'il était censé être fourni avec de la colle), mais j'ai pu l'assembler. J'ai modifié quelques détails, mais dans l'ensemble, j'ai bien aimé. Je l'ai trouvé facile et rapide à assembler. 10/10 !
A dépassé mes attentes. Très beau produit. Super bien emballé. C'est un peu laborieux, mais le résultat est incroyable.
tout comme la photo, bonne qualité
Après en avoir fabriqué un moi-même, j'en ai acheté un autre pour l'offrir à mon beau-frère. Très sympa. Amusant à fabriquer. L'éclairage fonctionne parfaitement.
Tout semble OK. Déçu qu'aucune colle ne soit fournie, mais je peux probablement m'en procurer. Envoyé rapidement et arrivé en toute sécurité.
arrivé bien emballé, j'ai hâte de le construire
C'est très élaboré et amusant. Je pensais que je n'avais pas besoin de colle, mais j'étais gêné parce que j'en avais besoin. Satisfaction globale !
Impression de très haute qualité. Excellente description. Tout est bien emballé. J'ai hâte de travailler avec ça.
