Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on December 1, 2010.
V-luxe is featured in the New York Times Style Section!
Check out this fab feature by Steven Kurutz on how Kickstarter is helping designers launch products by connecting them with groovy people willing to cheer them on with pledges of support as they take their projects public. A very special thanks to all of our backers! Without you we couldn't have made this happen.

Dear V-luxe Supporters,
For those of you considering felt options as well as those of you who might simply be curious we thought we'd post some images of the felt-lined face frames. Walnut is shown with blue felt, cherry with orange and mahogany with green. Also available are oatmeal, and charcoal grey. Decisions, decisions...
Happy pondering!
Love,
V-luxe
Dear V-luxe Supporters,
The new V-luxes are rolling (albeit a bit slower than we'd planned) out of production! We wanted you to see them first. For those of you who pre-purchased and have yet to specify your wood preference please do so as soon as possible. Our first run is selling out quickly and we want to make sure you get the one you want.
They are shown, front and back, below with walnut at the top, cherry in the middle and mahogany at the bottom. The walnut is finished with a marine varnish that has UV protection to keep the wood dark as it ages. The cherry and mahogany have a non-toxic oil finish that you could eat off, though we're not suggesting you do any such thing. The inside of the face is lined with Filz Felt in one of five fab colors, featured in a previous post. Also making its debut is the new V-luxe logo. We hope you like them!
We'd love to hear what you think...drop us a line anytime!
Love,
V-luxe
Wow... it seems like just yesterday we were putting together a booth for ICFF (International Contemporary Furniture Show) here in NYC. And now it's over! Here's a big thanks to everyone who visited us and met the V-luxe in person.
Thanks as well to reviewers who have recently posted info and pictures from the show. Now that the Kickstarter campaign is over, you can order a V-luxe at our web site:
So it's back to the workshop to finish up our first production run! Please checkout our recent posts for photos of our progress....
