The wooden Sony mirrorless camera model transforms the typically austere mirrorless form into something with tactile warmth and personality. Designed by Ridhima Saini, this scale model of the Sony Alpha 7R is carved entirely from wood and MDF, capturing every contour through meticulous laser cutting and hand-finishing.

Unlike the usual metal‑and‑plastic aesthetic, the wooden Sony mirrorless camera showcases natural wood grain as a unique fingerprint, turning a technical tool into an heirloom-worthy object. Every detail feels lovingly reinterpreted—the stacked MDF grip pieces curve comfortably in the hand, and even the dial spins on a crafted aluminum shaft. By resisting the urge to mimic the camera’s original paint, Saini lets the wood’s texture speak, making the wooden Sony mirrorless camera feel approachable and precious—an exercise in material awareness that reminds us of design’s tactile roots
