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.

The Wall Cabinet is available in a choice of two design patterns called - Split Level Rooms and Tower of Shadows (inspired by Le Corbusier’s Tower of Shadows in Chandigarh).
