Storage Furniture with a Twist: Jakob Joergensen's Fjarill Drawers

By Rain Noe - January 9, 2012

in Furniture Design

The Fjarill bureau renders typical pull-out drawers boring in comparison. Created by Danish designer Jakob Joergensen, the Fjarill has a diagonal slot channeled beneath each drawer, and while a specific explanation does not exist, we imagine there's a single peg located in the bottom corner of each drawer that allows them to pivot outwards and slide back inwards. (It's also possible, judging by some of these configurations, that the slot follows a zigzag track, or that Joergensen has simply devised a craft mechanism too clever for this blogger to guess at.)

Whatever the mechanism, the end effect is undeniably cool, and offers a more interesting way than full-extension drawer slides to get at those items relegated to the furthest corners of the drawers.

The Fjarill is on sale, albeit in limited edition form, through the Galerie Maria Wettergren in Paris.

Cool yes but the craftsmanship needs to be brought up. The changing gaps between the drawers in the opening photograph can be better.
