It would make it also harder to get to the drawers on the very top though, since they're shorter and you wouldn't be able to get as close enough to it.

I was just wondering if this drawer is stable? I mean, if I opened all drawers towards one side, will it topple over? Or is there some sort of a 'lock' which makes sure that you can't pull out two draws (on top of each other) towards the same direction?

J: I was being sarcastic, but it is easy to get bored of novelty items that exist with the only purpose of creating a ten-second reaction, and end up never being used because they’re either impractical or fictionnal. The web is full of them.

However, I think the line you draw between art and design has been proven to be a bit more blurry than what you suggest.

Agreed on the comment about choice, quality and cost, though.

I saw the Stack on television and i must say it’s more convincing when you see it in use. It’s incredible to see how only one drawer is moving and the rest remains on it’s place. Very well done.

And Fred, design is not art and art is not design. Design is made for use. Always and ever. That’s why designers who call themselve artist are bad designers.

And i get bored about people whining about ‘rich stuff’ and so on. Yes, this drawer is more expensive than Ikea drawers, but once you bought this one you’ll never get ridd of it, because it’s a special drawer. So in stead of buying 50 cheap ass drawers from ikea you can buy this one. That’s a choice you can make.

I can buy the concept and the colour coordination. Well done!
