Matryoshka Pantone

Design Toy
Status: Edition \ Personal project
Year: 2008

Description: The Matryoshka is a traditional toy and one of the strongest symbols of Russian culture. This version reinterprets the classic object by combining an ancient form with unexpected content. Stripped of traditional ornaments, it becomes a pure archetype where the silhouette itself takes the central role. Together with the expressive eyes, this creates an almost alien presence.

The objects are made from high-gloss plastic to emphasize a futuristic character. Each Matryoshka fits inside the next, while the colors gradually become lighter in a Pantone-inspired spectrum as the size decreases.

Dimensions: 78 x 78 x 168 mm.
Material: Glossy plastic \ Casting
