Spotted: Matryoshka chair (nested doll)

Source: vivianchiudesigns.com


While it's called the inception chair, to me it looks more like a matryoshka chair. Matryoshka or "nested" dolls are those delicately-painted Russian wooden figures that opens to reveal a smaller version of the figure inside. The nesting could go on and on depending on the craftsmanship.

This "object inside a similar object" is one of the inventive principles of TRIZ, called the "nested doll principle". When one has to solve a problem without the luxury of additional space, try to see if it's possible to nest objects inside another!
