Pivot Cabinet by Shay Alkalay

WOW. We love inventive new stuff! This small cabinet by Israeli designer Shay Alkalay would make an excellent landing strip. It leans against the wall and its two drawers pivot out rather than slide...

 
 

Produced by Arco, Pivot should become available for purchase later this year (no word on pricing yet). This unique cabinet will be available in lacquer, solid oak and solid American walnut. Via: dezeen.

When I first glanced at the gorgeous blue tray system unfolding from the wall I thought it was a newly discovered Shaker design. It's really quite stunning. Now if you'd tell us where we can get one?

Open drawer. Spill contents. Repeat, repeat, repeat.

A design for people who never overfill their drawers (which means, alas, not me).

So if it's just leaning against the wall on two legs, what happens when that bottom drawer that pivots out and down actually has something in it with weight? I can tell you: TIMBERRRRRRRR!

i like the idea of using it as a landing strip for mail and keys.

Unnerving, but looks beautifully made.

it seems obvious to me that you have to anchor it to the wall, but perhaps I'm wrong. I think that is a great landing strip, for mail, keys and bits and bobs. If you want storage for lots of stuff, buy a dresser.

Ooooh, this would be PERFECT as a landing strip in my microscopic entryway.... I really hope it doesn't end up costing $300.

$300? I imagine it is over $1000. Maybe even close to $2000.
(Just being realistic!)

The cabinet was featured in The New York Times today and is $2,200-$2,350 depending on finish. (I told you!) It is available from M2L on East 58th Street in Manhattan.
