Fractal Yes, But Practical?

Fractal24

This cool cube of interlocking drawers from New York's Takeshi Miyakawa Design definitely gets the 'oohs and ahhs' at first glance. Unfortunately, to utilise Fractal 23 it to its full capacity you need access from all sides. Space saving and space wasting all-in-one. The idea could suit an island, or a table perhaps (if it didn't have holes in the top? Or am I being daft?).

Seeing the drawers pulled out reminded me of Salvador Dali's repetitive theme using corporal drawers (now that's efficiency):
