DESIGN

GRAPHIC, FURNITURE, SPATIAL

Lead by ideas, design is bound not by rules or genre, but by values and principles. The design sensibility of XMAS is born of minimalist aesthetic philosophies of Pennsylvania Shakers, the Bauhaus, and Scandinavian design. Through study in San Francisco, Copenhagen, and Providence, and practice in NYC and Philadelphia, XMAS was developed to accomodate nearly any design project with solutions of comfort and joy.
