Just how many ways can 9 interchangeable components be configured? Well into the hundreds... The permutations have not been fully calculated.  The Chameleon allows true user manipulation. The unit consists of the static frame, 6 drawer boxes (3 colours, 2 sizes) and 3 display platforms. If one configuration is done per day, it may take up to 3 years to complete the cycle.
The first 4 photos only show a small fraction of the possible combinations that can be done with the Chameleon. Each drawer or display platform is keyed into the frame or each other via the dowel and groove detail.
