Takeshi Miyakawa's unique [Fractal 23](http://dvice.com/archives/2008/05/fractal_furnitu.php)design utilizes each and every inch of a cube by having a whopping 23 functional drawers. Suddenly that abstract and minimalistic-looking cube becomes much more exciting!

There are drawers on each side, which means you have to give it enough space if you want full access to all drawers at all times. While that may not be very practical in a normal home, it could be very interesting to place in the middle of a store. Imagine all the things you could put inside this abstract, yet clean-looking piece!
