If you’re familiar with the wild and crazy concepts from artist/designer Sebastian Errazuriz, then the organized chaos of his latest piece, The Explosion Cabinet, shouldn’t surprise you.

The talented artist and designer has been spending his career crafting obscure functional objects ranging from ‘Man Chopping Board‘ and ‘Tea for Two‘ to ‘Flyswatter‘ and ‘Tree Table‘.

While he is known for creating avant-garde pieces, the young designer has a knack for making his seemingly conceptual pieces very functional objects.

For his latest piece, The Explosion Cabinet, Errazuriz spent over a year figuring out the complicated rail system that is made from a complex network of sliding dovetail joints. The final result is a cabinet that trades pixelated-like bars for the traditional cupboards and allows a user to customize the design per their own specifications by pushing and pulling:

Regardless of what sort of a pattern you want on the outside, the interior of the cabinet will also maintain the same shape and space…meaning that your treasured collection of Smurf drinking glasses are safe from the explosion:
