"Assembly Required" is one of my absolute favorite series by artist Richard Parry. Each piece features a deconstructed game console or controller. We have several in our living room https://society6.com/product/assembly-required-12_print?sku=s6-11420102p4a1v45

I could probably keep going, especially when it comes to artists and pin makers, but I'll stop here for now.
Hopefully you found some small businesses to support through this thread!
