x+l for Phantom Hands Collection
x+l stands for Xander Vervoort and Leon van Boxtel, designers based in Amsterdam. With a background in theatre and art, the duo founded x+l studio in 1996, focussing on interior design. Through the years they worked in several disciplines—photography, advertising, stage design, fashion and exhibition design.
The objects designed by x+l for Phantom Hands are inspired by their interest in art and architecture, as well as their deep appreciation of simple, honest materials and structures. Besides x+l’s distinctive aesthetic, upcycling and zero waste are important themes in the creation of some of the objects in this collection.
