"Breathing" Chest of Drawers
by J. Peter Schlebecker
Camden, Maine
Style: Custom Design
Type: Chest of Drawers
Materials: Basswood, Mahogany
Dimensions: 20 in. deep by
17 in. wide by
50 in. tall.
Schlebecker's inspiration for this basswood and mahogany chest of drawers (20 in. deep by 17 in. wide by 50 in. tall) came from his early vocal training and the connection between singing and breathing. Called "Breathing Drawers," the chest has a silicone-rubber membrane inside the frames on the top and sides, which "breathes" as the well-fit drawers are opened and closed, revealing sketches of chest musculature underneath it. The lower drawer doesn't have a cutout pull, but opens with the air pressure produced from closing the top one. The finish is lacquer.
