« Bon coin de lecture. Bien emballé et semble complet. En cours de construction. Les pièces s'ajustent parfaitement. Un peu de patience et une main ferme sont nécessaires pour l'assemblage. Pas trop compliqué. »
One more lit window on your bookshelf.
An alley in a megacity, somewhere in the future: neon signs flicker in blue and magenta, and a fine drizzle reflects the lights on the asphalt. Neon Alley brings this scene to your bookshelf: a miniature book nook you build yourself, lighting up with countless glowing details when night falls.
The only cyberpunk book nook in the catalog
This is the kit that completely changes the mood: where the other scenes play with warm light, this one stacks up blue and magenta neon until the whole alley hums. The multicolor LEDs sit behind each sign: it's the longest part of the build, and the one that makes all the difference once it's lit.
Who is it for? Science fiction fans and lovers of futuristic worlds. An original, memorable gift with an urban neon vibe. A one-of-a-kind spot of light between two sci-fi novels.
Assembled dimensions: 18.7 × 15 × 10 cm

Your questions about the Neon Alley book nook
Your questions about this kit
How long does it take to build?
Allow 4 to 6 hours, in one go or in short twenty-minute sessions.
Why is the lighting different from the other kits?
Because it's the only book nook in the catalog that comes with multicolor LEDs: they're what give the alley its blue and magenta glow. They go in behind each sign, one by one: it's the longest step of the 4 to 6 hour build.

How the Neon Alley book nook compares to our other kits
160 pieces and a 4 to 6 hour build: in terms of size, this kit slots between Shadow Tavern (139 pieces) and Kyoto Alley (223), and it shares its Intermediate level with other kits. What makes it impossible to mistake is the light: these are the only multicolor LEDs in the entire Nooko catalog, and its sci-fi world stands apart from our Japanese scenes, our fantasy settings and our miniature houses. If the lighting is what wins you over, the other bold choice is Firefly Forest.
A world to build. A light to switch on.
This kit is part of our fantasy book nooks and our illuminated 3D puzzles. The loop comes full circle with Shadow Tavern, the gothic tavern with golden chandeliers. Thanks to its level, this kit also appears in our selection of model kits to build and, like all our pre-cut wooden scenes, on the 3D puzzles to build page.
