NLXL Cane Angle Webbing Mahogany
Cane Webbing Weaved cane is one of the oldest techniques used in furniture manufacturing. Cane strips have been used in objects since ancient times, originating as basket material and evolving into furniture. Caned furniture first appeared in Holland, England and France around the 1660’s thanks to bustling trade with Asia.
Thonet revolutionized the furniture industry in 1859 with it’s 214 chair. The simple caned seat contributed to the chair’s extraordinary lightness, which meant that it was less expensive to produce and transport. In todays’ contemporary interiors Cane Webbing is making a comeback. NLXL is the first wallpaper manufacturer to introduce Cane Webbing wallpaper.

Roderick Vos
Roderick Vos explores the intersection of east and west, tradition and modern technology. A graduate of the Design Academy Eindhoven in the Netherlands, he has operated a studio since 1990 with his wife, the carpet and textile designer Claire Vos. Vos jokes about design being in his DNA. His great-grandfather and grandfather were skilled craftsmen and his father founded Maupertuus, a pioneering design store. Yet he refuses to put design on a pedestal. In his words, "design should be humble." He dislikes "the intellectual approach towards ‘design matters.'... Emotion is, in my opinion, key to a successful product."
