Story
Seventeen drawers of different sizes
Cappellini describes Pyramid as a chest of drawers by Shiro Kuramata. Its pyramid-shaped structure is transparent, and the 17 drawers it contains differ in size and are black.
On rubber wheels
The page says the entire cabinet rests atop black rubber wheels with chromed metal carters, so the whole piece moves on casters. The sheet also counts 17 drawers in different dimensions.
