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 Natural Teak finish, the wood is sanded and finished with hard wax oil to bring out the natural, golden-brown colour of the teak. For the Dark Stain finish, a coat of water-based, teak stain is applied to give the wood a darker teak shade, followed by a coat of sealer.

For the lamp shade, we have a choice of three raw silk fabrics from Zanav.Read less +
