Drawers with Attitude

New York based designer, Takeshi Miyakawa, showcased the incredible ’Fractal 23’ drawers in Milan in April – and we fell in love.

Drawers with Attitude

BY

June 13th, 2008

According to the website of New York-based, Tokyo-born designer, Takeshi Miyakawa, "less is more when it is done right," implying simplicity in his designs.

In the case of his ’Fractal 23’ drawers, we dont think the moto fits.

A-kin to a puzzle box, or a childrens cube toy- or even a multi-legged insect, this storage drawer is absolutely adorable – with multiple drawers in various sizes, this furniture piece is not in any way simple. In this case, more is more.
