Lego's first book nook is an addictively interactive diorama
Briefly

Lego has ventured into the adult market with its new product, the Sherlock Holmes' Baker Street Book Nook. This set captures the intricate design of traditional book nooks, which are miniature dioramas typically placed on bookshelves, but it also offers playability by unfolding into a three-building Victorian street. The concept, inspired by the work of Japanese artist Monde, reflects a growing trend of elaborate, relaxing building kits for adults, following Lego's successful releases of complex sets aimed at adult fans. Priced at $120, it will ship on June 1, catering to both nostalgia and modern design sensibilities.
