The ROOM DIVIDER (folding screen) evolved out of a collaboration with Amsterdam based designer duo X+L (Xander Vervoort + Leon van Boxtel) to create a series of products that were made entirely from up-cycled wood.
The furniture production process leaves a number of smaller pieces of teak wood that cannot be used for regular furniture. Instead of wasting this precious teak, it was decided to create products that are designed to utilise these pieces. X+L loved the concept of using recycled teak and the ROOM DIVIDER was the first product they designed for this collection.
Each screen is unique and has slightly different blocks. Each piece is shaped and polished by hand prior to assembly, making it a labour and skill intensive process.
Wood finish: Natural Teak / Dark Stain
The X+L collection consists of objects designed by Dutch design duo Xander Vervoort and Leon van Boxtel. The objects in this collection are inspired by X+L's interest in art and architecture, as well as their deep appreciation of simple, honest materials and structures. X+L’s distinctive aesthetic, recycling and zero waste are important themes in the creation of some of the objects in this collection.
