Macabre Stacking Doll Lights

The Suicoke Matryushka Doll Lamp is Day of the Dead-Inspired

— January 13, 2012 — Art & Design
The Russian nesting doll gets an edgy makeover in the form of the Suicoke Matryushka Doll lamp, switching vibrant hues for more gloomy elements. The lamp has a Day of the Dead-like look to it as the typically plump face of the nesting doll has been replaced with a skull.

The Suicoke Matryushka Doll lamp is almost the opposite of a nesting doll in every way. The dolls typically feature cute characters with plump cheeks and colorful outfits. This lamp is dressed in a Grim Reaper cloak, with the flowers adding a welcome touch of color. As far as edgy furnishings go, this lamp is creative, uncommon and inoffensive. The lamp is currently available from Japanese retailer Zozograndh.
