Vincent Lim shares five of his must-haves and favorite things, in this Friday Five.

We spotted Lim + Lu back in 2017 at ICFF and since then their playfully clever furnishings and interiors have prominently stayed on our radar. The award-winning studio was founded in New York City by the husband-and-wife team of Vincent Lim and Elaine Lu who have since relocated to Hong Kong where Lim was born and raised. Along with co-founding the studio, Lim acts as the Creative Director bringing his architecture background that began with a Bachelor of Architecture from Cornell University’s College of Architecture, Art & Planning. Post school, he worked in Hong Kong at Davidclovers Architects, Gravity Partnership, and CL3 Architects, and with Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates in New York City. Earlier this year, Lim was featured on the Forbes ’30 Under 30′ Asia for The Arts 2018, after the studio was selected as Rising Asian Talent by Maison et Objet 2017, 40 Under 40 by Perspective Magazine, and the 100 Most Influential Architects and Designs by Architectural Digest China in 2017. There’s no doubt this duo is going places and we can’t wait to see where. In the meantime, Vincent Lim shares five of his must-haves and favorite things, in this Friday Five.
