The Art Lebedev Studio (of Optimus Keyboard fame) once again shows us its unique take on design with this set of Babushka dolls. Called Matryoshkus, these linden-wood Russian nesting dolls remind us of the relationship between all the little bits that make up our digital age: byte, kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte and terabyte figures all nestle into one another, with the indivisible bit in the middle. Sure, they don’t actually do anything at all. But they look pretty cool. And unlike their fabled keyboard, we actually believe these could become available as promised: September 1, 2007 for about 34$.
Couple more pictures and links after the jump.

Very awesome dolls!
Pity theres nothing about the Peta byte?
Those are plain not pretty, and no where close to scale. DUMB
The change in volume of each doll is not proportional to the change in volume in the volume they represent. That is, they are not to scale. But then again the dolls would be unreasonably large if the next bigger one was 1024x larger than the previous one.
Retarded. they should be growing 1000 times each step
With no faces, they’re just phallic. They could’ve dressed it up a bit.
if they grew 1000 times … we’d never be able to fit it anywhere …
let alone put in on our desks …
hehe …
Interesting concept, too bad they look like Apple made them.
This is lame beacuse only 1 bit fits in a byte.
This is a lame, wanna be geek thing….. total crap
laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame
No nybble?! 😉
they may increase size in the logarithmic scale 🙂
Wher can I buy thos fantastic matryoshkus?
