Riddle on the Seabed DIY Book Nook Kit | Whitby Thorne

Dive into a Forgotten World Beneath the Waves.

From the artisans at Whitby Thorne & Whitby Thorn, Riddle on the Seabed is a buildable book nook kit that immerses you in the hauntingly beautiful ruins of an ancient shipwreck. Lit by soft, ambient glow and protected by a dust-proof acrylic panel, this book nook isn’t just décor—it’s a submerged memory, frozen in time.

Carefully crafted with 2.5mm imported MDF board and featuring 216 intricately cut pieces, this kit invites you on a mesmerizing journey through maritime history. From the accurately slotted pirate ship, tilted as if swallowed by the sea, to the crystal-ball pedestal treasure, glowing with mysterious light, every detail whispers tales of storms survived and secrets kept.

Touch the interactive light switch to awaken the oceanic scene. Peer through layers of ship decks, ancient columns, coral gardens, and the ghostly figure of a whale—the “sleeper of the sea.” Hidden shells, treasure chests, and aquatic relics await discovery.

This is not just a build. It’s an emotional escape. A tale you create with your hands. A gift worthy of storytellers, readers, collectors, and dreamers alike.
