Living in an increasingly cramped world suddenly doesn't seem so tough after checking out all of these matryoshka-inspired creations. The Russian nesting doll is famed for being able to store a ton of stuff in a small space. That same design scheme has been remixed by designers to be more functional.
Nesting dolls are awesome to look at, but they don't make very good pieces of luggage or chairs. These matryoshka-inspired creations are functional which is what makes them so awesome. A complete furniture set is a beast to try and store in a pinch, but if it's matryoshka-inspired then it simply becomes a matter of stacking. If you feel like you never have enough room to move at home, then check out all of these matryoshka-inspired creations.
