About ANAVRIN®
ANAVRIN® is a design studio dedicated to creating highly detailed miniature dioramas inspired by real world locations and cultural moments.
Each kit is conceived as a complete experience. From architectural layout and lighting to texture and storytelling, every element is designed to feel cohesive, intentional, and immersive.
More than a model, every ANAVRIN® piece is meant to be built slowly and displayed proudly for years.
Our Story
It began with a longing for something real.
In a world that feels increasingly fast, fleeting, and digital, we craved moments of calm. Something to slow us down. Something we could build with our hands.
We were not looking to make toys.
We wanted to craft experiences.
Artworks you could touch. Stories you could build.
That is how ANAVRIN® came to life.
A reflection of the word Nirvana turned around, symbolizing a return to meaning, creativity, and peace.
From the beginning, our mission was simple but uncompromising to create DIY miniature worlds that go far beyond the ordinary.
Each ANAVRIN kit is designed as a detailed diorama inspired by real places and cultural moments. They are not just models. They are pieces of art you assemble yourself.

Our Design Ethos
We obsess over the smallest details the way light filters through a paper lantern, the illusion of depth created by mirrors and shadows the textures of weathered walls and narrow alleys.
Every poster, tile, window, and sign is illustrated in house and designed with intention. Hidden Easter eggs are woven into each scene as subtle nods to local culture, architectural quirks, and quiet surprises for those who take the time to look closer.
Some call them crafts. We call them miniature worlds. Each build is meant to transport you to a rainy backstreet in Tokyo, a quiet morning in Kyoto, or a reimagined future of Kowloon Walled City in 2049.
These are not just things you build. They are places you feel. Moments of stillness, nostalgia, and wonder made real through your own hands.
Beyond Art
We believe discovery should be part of the experience.
Hidden Easter eggs are woven into each design as subtle nods to local culture, pop references, and architectural quirks that reveal themselves only to the most observant builders.
For those who later visit the real life locations that inspired our kits, these details often spark a quiet moment of recognition and awe.
"Built from places I loved and moments I did not want to forget."

Looking Ahead
Our direction for 2026 is not about doing more. It is about doing things better. More depth. More restraint. More care in every detail. Stay tuned.
