A collection such as Matryoshkarim Nesting Furniture goes far beyond the challenge of conceiving a genius furnishing solution to close-packed spaces, since it has evidently been executed with a whimsical creative quality characteristic of a work of art. The title itself is a playful hybrid of the designer's name combined with the very object of inspiration.
This eccentric set of chairs, coffee tables and footstools is six pieces strong, and incredibly, each of them can be stacked and slotted into one sole structure and tucked away completely when not in use. Mimicking the way that Russian matryoshka dolls or babushkas are composed with one figurine inside another, Matryoshkarim Nesting Furniture by Karim Rashid is essentially a toy for interior decoration.
