아주 작은 책 선반 디오라마 도쿄 출신의 일본 디자이너 몬데는 새로운 종류의 예술과 디자인 고려한, 책 선반 디오라마(특히 박물관의 입체 모형)를 만들었다. 그의 목재 작품은 평범한 책장을 마법으로 바꾸어 일본 뒷골목의 느낌을 마치 자신의 집에 온 것 같은 느낌을 갖게 한다. 그의 뒷골목 책 선반은 디자이너의 예술공예 행사인 디자인 페스타에 데뷔하면서 처음으로 주목을 받았다  몬데는 그의 프로젝트가 받은 관심에 충격을 받았다. "지금까지 작업이 반복된 것은 이번이 처음이었다. 일본 뿐만 아니라 영국, 미국, 캐나다와 에 있는 사람들을 위해 만들고 싶은 것을 작은 모양으로 만들었다."라고 버즈피드 일본에서 언급했다. 황기철 콘페이퍼 에디터 큐레이터 Ki Cheol Hwang, conpaper editor, curator

Based in Tokyo, Japanese designer monde has created a new category of art and design—bookshelf dioramas. His wood inserts transform ordinary bookshelves into something magical and bring the feel of a Japanese back alley into your home. Monde’s “back alley bookshelves” first caused a stir when the designer debuted them at the arts and crafts event Design Festa.

Monde was shocked by the attention his project received. “It was the first time that the work had echoed so far. I made a thing that I would like to make in a small way, not only in Japan, but also for people overseas such as the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada,” he shared with BuzzFeed Japan.

Inspired by Tokyo, his work carefully mirrors the dizzying feeling of wandering the city’s back alleys. Monde has been working on the project for two years, using different materials to create the look and feel of the city. He’s even added lights to some models, which give a soft glow that emanates from the bookshelf. This newer model is also sized perfectly to sit between paperback novels.

Encouraged by the reception his work is receiving, monde is taking orders for customers who would like their own “back alley bookshelf.” Inquiries can be made via DM on Twitter.

There’s even a curving path that’s lit up like a real back alley at night.
