The x+l Floor Lamp, is part of a collection of objects designed by Amsterdam based design duo Xander Vervoort and Leon van Boxtel to re-cycle small blocks of wood that are produced as residual waste in our furniture production process. The wooden base of the lamp is made with these up-cycled teak blocks. Each block is shaped, curved and polished by hand prior to assembly, making it a labour and skill intensive process. The lampshade is made with an outer lining of hand-spun raw silk fabric and an inner lining of thin cotton fabric.

For the Black finish, the wood is sprayed with an eco-friendly, water-based paint that leaves the grains and patterns visible.
