A cup of tea, my phone put away, and one tiny piece at a time. I loved having a little project to come back to when I wanted a quiet evening to myself.
Watching the scene come together was such a lovely feeling. Now it’s sitting between my books, and every time I pass it I think, ‘I actually made that.’
The tiny details are what drew me in, but I love how much character it adds to my bookshelf. It feels like there’s a little story tucked between my favourite reads.

Behind the carved gothic front, a winding staircase climbs past arched windows to a balcony of books. At the heart of the room, an enchanted book glows above a scholar's desk, armchair and stacks of well-loved volumes.
Piece by piece, you build every shelf and scroll, then light it up with a warm, candlelit glow.
No sawing needed. Assemble the little details piece by piece.
Bring your finished scene to life with a warm glow.
Follow the step-by-step instructions, even on your first build.
Turn a space between your books into a miniature world.
Select a number to explore the scene.

A Gothic Library in Miniature. Candlelit and Cosy. Made for Book Lovers.

Put the scrolling aside and settle into a hands-on creative project. Build at your own pace and enjoy seeing a miniature world take shape.

No. Your Hoidasi book nook arrives as a DIY kit for you to build. Follow the included instructions to assemble the scene, then display your finished creation.
The kit includes pre-cut wooden panels, miniature furniture and decorative pieces, an LED lighting kit and step-by-step instructions. The scene and components vary by design.
You can start without previous model-making experience. Take your time, follow the instructions and work through one step at a time. Some pieces are small and require patience and careful handling.
Build time varies with the design, its level of detail and your experience. Enjoy it at your own pace over one or more sessions; there is no need to finish it in one sitting.
Requirements vary by kit. Check the supplied instructions before you start, and do not assume glue, tools or batteries are included. Contact Hoidasi if you would like to confirm what you need for a particular design before ordering.
