Chest of (near) Random Drawers

The intent was to build a chest which contained a set of randomly distributed drawers. Given the constraint that each draw had to be neither too large nor too small, ultimately, I could not design a truly random collect of drawers. The carcass is ebonized mahogany with internal spline joinery. The draw fronts are a rosewood veneer.

I wonder if a version of this piece with contrasting veneers which would give it a look similar to Piet Mondrian's famous paintings.

Hat's off. I'm putting a concept like this on my big pile of exciting project to try some day.
