The idea for the wall cabinet emerged from wood inlay experiments at the Phantom Hands workshop and engagements with traditional inlay artisans from the city of Mysore. X+L responded to our idea of creating a contemporary inlay pattern that could be used in a functional object and came up with the idea for the wall cabinet.
The wall cabinet can be used in multiple ways - it serves as a storage unit, a bar cabinet or as a writing desk when the flap is lowered. The facade of the wall cabinet has a pattern made with wood inlay that suggests a three dimensional space. The inlay work requires a high degree of skill and precision, and take several days to complete.
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.
