Four creative minds united in one idea: Xylos. Creative power at the highest artistic level.<\/h3>\n

Munich carpenter and cabinetmaker Martin Spreng, cabinetmaker Francis Ballu, architect Remi Colmet-Da\u00e2ge and model maker Philippe Delaflotte founded groupe Xylos between 1980 and 1982. Their focus as a group of works was on highly specialised, exclusive interior design and unusual interiors. As a group of works they produced individual unique pieces and delighted art lovers all over Europe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Magic of the material uniquely staged<\/h4>\n

The work of Xylos is characterized by unusual, noble materials such as natural and colored woods. These they combined in contrast with stone, glass and metal as well as elaborate lacquer and surface designs. Major commissions included marquetry walls for the Liederhalle Congress Centre in Stuttgart, the entrance hall at Cartier in Aix-les-Bains, Braun Melsungen medical near Kassel and the city hall of Paris.<\/p>\n

Courageous experimenters on the edge of the possible<\/h4>\n

The work of Xylos is only conceivable as a result in the group. Not one of the artists is in the foreground in her works, but always the work as a team. All works are the result of a careful examination of the material, customer wishes and the inspiration of the four designers. In his works, Xylos freely reaches into the inventory of art history, translating it into new forms of representation and unusual structures, as this desk visibly demonstrates. In 2009, Xylos disbanded as a team that has created outstanding luxury goods in almost 30 years.<\/p>\n
