The Maelstrom Chest of Drawers: Beautiful or Creepy?

This handmade wooden chest of drawers would look equally as good in a museum gallery, in an expensive modern high-rise apartment, and in the home of the Addams Family. However, it would stick out like a sore thumb in my house, which is decorated in the style I call "estate sale chic."

The Maelstrom dresser was designed and crafted by Caleb Woodard of Caleb Woodard Furniture. Woodard is as much a sculptor as he is a carpenter. It is made from ebonized ash wood, which is explained here. The surface undulates like waves, which draw the eye without hinting that there is a practical storage piece underneath.

The discussion at reddit centered on all the possible ways you could pull the drawers open. Woodard tells us that grips are hidden under the curves on each drawer.
