Lamm is best known for his work which realistically depicts human bodies, an undertaking he calls the ''Body Measurement Project''. From this project came his idea for "Lammily", a doll that purports to provide a more realistic body image for young girls than does Barbie.<ref name="Matthews">{{cite news|url=https://www.elle.com/news/culture/lammily-real-barbie-nickolay-lamm|title=Meet Nickolay Lamm - Barbies, Lammily|last=Matthews|first=Natalie|work=Elle|accessdate=10 May 2014}}</ref><ref name="Lee">{{cite news|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2014/03/06/average-barbie-lammily-doll/6113875/|title=Watch out Barbie: Average body Lammily doll is coming|last=Lee|first=Jolie|date=7 March 2014|work=USA Today|accessdate=8 March 2014}}</ref>
