Cartesia Drawers by NOSIGNER
Japanese designer NOSIGNER has created a drawer unit called Cartesia.
From the designer:
Cartesia stands for the “Cartesian coordinate system”, that is translated into a structure of drawers that have the capacity to open in two directions. This special quality makes it especially suitable for room corners. The new type of system that can open the different cases at the same time, is a fundamental shift from the traditional modus operandi. The characteristic form of Cartesia, an inverted trapezium, is related on a rationally based design that implies handles.

What a beautiful piece! Clean, unpretentious …an elite expression.

The concept isn’t exactly new, Shay Alkalay does a wittier version for Established and Sons, but the execution, the ability to open in two directions, is. Paired with the simple lines and veneer, this piece would definitely find it’s way into many modern homes. Plus it looks like it would actually store a lot. I would love to see the glides in side of this sucker. Kudos.

Very nice piece. The slide is amazingly simple. Perfect for the piece because it isn’t obvious at first.
Excellent work.

Nice and compact. Sleek. Love the fact that it’s not immediately obvious that it’s a set of drawers.

Danielle Lago (lago-it.com) has a similar creation (2004) that moves in any direction, with special sliding mechanism.
This drawer is more simple, but very clever and functional.
I love… ;-P
