Grittt Creative Studio today announced a new design initiative in collaboration with a toy manufacturing company to develop a series of modular, do-it-yourself (DIY) miniature display kits. The project marks the studio’s expansion into three-dimensional product design, translating its illustration-based storytelling approach into a consumer-facing format.

The planned collection includes several themed miniature scenes — such as a bookstore, observatory, science laboratory, and grocery shop. Each unit is designed for tabletop or interior display and can be assembled independently or combined with multiple sets to form larger configurations. The kits are intended for both general consumers and design hobbyists, introducing a new channel through which audiences can engage with Grittt’s visual language.

This initiative builds on the studio’s recent work applying narrative-driven illustration to brand communication. Past project examples include the development of packaging and supporting graphic assets for an independent aromatherapy brand, incorporating illustration-based visual systems organized around themes related to sensory experience and emotional perception.

Founded as a cross-disciplinary practice, Grittt specializes in illustration, animation, and brand visual design. The studio integrates aesthetic references from multiple cultural contexts to support visual communication across editorial, cultural, and commercial domains. Its work applies narrative-driven illustration to shape brand identity, packaging, digital media assets, and cross-platform extensions.

The new DIY initiative reflects a broader shift toward modular, narrative-based object design. By extending illustration into physical formats, the studio aims to explore new ways users can interact with visual storytelling in everyday environments. Product development is currently in the concept and prototyping stage, with further updates regarding availability and release channels expected in mid-2026.

As part of this initiative, Grittt will continue focusing on illustration as a core narrative tool — using visual structure to support clarity, emotional resonance, and cultural context. The studio anticipates that the modular DIY series will align with ongoing interest in customizable, display-oriented collectibles and design-driven miniature environments.
