Haaave You Met… The Lux Twins?

Crisp. Graphic. Tailored. 

How impossibly cool are The Lux Twins?

I'm tempted to set up a special screening process to make sure that they end up in a home where they will be fully appreciated. Just kidding… kind of!

Perfect for the sophisticated urbanite who craves one-of-a-kind works of art.

This metropolis inspired fabric from Asa Ekstrom is pure perfection. Being a sucker for anything even remotely chevron-esque, this print called my name.

Is it calling yours?

Their neutral palette of grey and white is so fresh and leaves the door wide open to surround them with juicy accent colours. 

I tried something new on these bases and couldn't be happier with the results. A semi-gloss paint finish was applied instead of my standard gloss finish, which would have competed with the shades for attention. And let's face it, the shades are the star of this show! 

Both the bases and shades are vintage. Check out their before picture here.

If you like these two, you're sure to love their partners in crime, The Jami Twins, recovered in a similarly, unique Asa Ekstrom fabric.
