Luxus Showroom Leaving

Hilda Yong, owner of Luxus Showroom, told me last week that her mother’s illness is forcing her to shutter the contemporary showroom she opened several years ago in the Dallas Design District.

She wants me to pass on that she’s liquidating everything, so there will be plenty of great deals. I always thought her showroom offered lots of bang for the buck anyway.
