Good design pushes boundaries and opens our mind to different options for everyday objects. Torontonian designer Rob Southcott can certainly be accused of this.
The random pattern and sizes of the drawers, along with the striped pattern of the wood, are both very visually interesting aspects of the bureau. This set of stacked drawers is a creative solution for people who have small spaces, but need storage.
Implications - Rob Southcott's artistic furnishing series is called Community + and was created to "reflect the growing diversity found in contemporary society." The home decor piece is made out of reclaimed lumber so it is also eco-friendly. The hustle-bustle pattern of the drawers is meant to symbolize the "vision of multiculturalism."
