The Droog Chest of Drawers reminds me of a memorial art project called Floodwall, which is in honor of the victims of Katrina. Two New Orleans artists started collecting all of the drawers they found on the streets after the hurricane. Here is the website: http://www.floodwall.org/home.html
and an interview with one of the artists on CNN: http://www.cnn.com/interactive/us/0604/art.after.katrina/frameset.exclude.html
