One of the constant and fondest memories we have throughout our childhood all the way up until college was spending hours upon hours in the library sifting through card catalogs in the old fashioned version of a Google search. There is always something so irresistibly inviting about a card catalog drawer...the tactile "shhhhhrrrk" of when one is opened and stretched out for your peering eyes. It's obvious because of this affinity we're partial to Czech designer Jaroslav Jurica's wall mounted storage system that combines vintage drawers with a modern case finish...
Drawerment Storage System
Drawerment is a composition of drawers collected from old office furniture. Flying freely over walls, desks and floors, they break up tight office atmosphere. As a herd, they sometimes group together but naturally go their own way when being used.The Drawerment is a small anniversary of 15 years of “Tejo remy Chest of Drawers” - A piece of art that let loose the ‘rigid’ era of product design at that time.

This is great, and I love the use of the word "herd."

Love it. Maintains floor space, has character, lots of storage without having things to move around.
I'm a big fan of built ins anyway, and these resemble the best sort. This is awesome.

I would like a couple of these to use as nightstands.

i, on the other hand, have been searching for the old card catalog cabinets themselves but to no avail. i love them and (kind of desperately) want one to house drygoods and spices in my kitchen. if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!
