Established & Sons - Stack drawers system

Usually a chest of drawers consists of an nexterior frame, back panel and runners on each drawer. The height is limited to the size of the frame and the drawer can only be opened in one direction.

With "Stack" Shay Alkalay has questioned these elements and challenged Established & Sons' perfection of what a drawer unit can be. "I think chests of drawers look more intriguing when the drawers are left partly open", explained Shay Alkalay.

These individual , multi-coloured, "floating" drawer units are built up to different heights, creating a tower of drawers that can be pushed and pulled in both directions. This will often result in a random and irregular formality that is both fascinating and unusual to the eye.

Positioned against a wall or in the centre of a room "Stack" creates a rich and wonderful spectacle of colour and form. It can be appreciated from all angles as a sculptural object as well as an entirely functional, practical item of furniture.

"Stack" is offered in two standard sizes (8 drawer unit and 13 drawer unit) and in green, red and neutral.
