  Japan:

  If you've ever wandered around Tokyo on foot you'll know that it can
  sometimes be like a spider web of side streets and back alleys. It's
  one of the things that makes Tokyo so unique and therein lies the
  allure of exploring the massive city. Now, one designer has brought
  that magic to bookshelves by designing back alley bookends.

  The clever idea is the brainchild of a Japanese designer who goes by
  the name [4]monde. Based in Tokyo, monde creates objects inspired by
  the city but also animals and insects. The back alley bookends come in
  a pair and can be used together to replicate a small back alley, or
  they can be used individually, exposing the intricate stepping stones,
  A/C units, piping, plants and other details that have been carefully
  recreated by hand.

  Monde exhibited the back alley bookends, along with other works, last
  weekend at [5]Design Festa, a Tokyo-based arts & crafts event where
  artists, both amateur and professional, come together to exhibit their
  artwork. The event has since ended but the next dates (August 2-4 and
  then November 10-11, 2018) have already been announced. If you're
  interested, you can also try reaching out [6]to the artist directly.
