Taiwan-based studio Pistacchi Design created this clever wooden matryoshka, titled “Little Red,” based on the classic fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood. The crafted piece comes in three layers– Little Red Riding Hood sits inside the wolf, who is himself clad in the grandma’s cloak.
Beyond the delightfulness of incorporating such a familiar children’s story into the playful shape of the matryoshka, I’m particularly fond of how the wolf peers out of pink cloak– its a smart way of adding dimension to the matryoshka. Usually, matryoshkas are comprised solely of human figurines, and the addition of objects as some of the layers is a novelty to me.
Super thanks goes to Pistacchi Design for these photos– some of these exclusive photos have never been published before, but they were really responsive when I reached out to them. Also, the craftsmanship on this is fantastic– definitely a project worth exploring. [Via Pistacchi Design.]
