The X+L 07 book shelf was originally designed and produced by X+L in 2003. This 2021 re-edition is handcrafted in solid teak. Signature design elements include the architectural book-end which is completely shaded by hand and stained black, and the finger joints at the corners of the shelf. The body of the book shelf is finished with transparent wood polish and sealer to bring out the natural golden brown colour of teak.
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.
