Use your creativity and create your own IXXI. The IXXI can be easily customized online using color filters, frames, text blocks or by extending your photos over multiple IXXI cards.

Origins and its first award

In the summer of 2009, spatial designers Paulien and Eric (Studio Parade) and graphic designer Roel Vaessen met for a project for the province of Noord-Brabant connecting 20,000 cards in a flexible manner. To do this, they came up with the idea to use torque cross. Soon after, the IXXI wall system was conceived. The idea was nominated for the Dutch Design Awards.
