Drawer Shelf

Written by kelsey. Posted in Things, Words

Kenji Ashizawa built the Drawer Shelf to develop the functionality of furniture in a given space. The sliding motion of the wooden drawers minimalizes the appearance of a large storage space. The rails in the piece are constructed from bent and straight plates. Ordinarily hidden in dresser drawer furniture, the rails in the Drawer Shelf are exposed, highlighting the sliding motion and depth of the piece. Kenji Ashizawa built the drawers to appear as blocks of wood forming a stack of shelves, using the same rails for the box units to slide against one another.

Using Still’s work solely as a departure point allows her work to inhibit sculptural space and create its own dynamic narrative.

By placing the ear buds in the protective center and the jack through the bottom hole, you can securely wind the cord around the outer spool.
