Modern Coastal, Done Right

From their US-1 showroom to waterfront residences and yachts, A&S Lux Interiors defines a more disciplined take on South Florida luxury.

On US-1, A&S Lux Interiors presents a clear point of view. The studio, founded by Anastasio and Shawn, is grounded in what they call “effortless coastal luxury,” a balance of clean lines, natural materials, and a palette that feels calm rather than contrived.

“Our signature is effortless coastal luxury: clean lines, natural textures like stone and linen, and a calming palette that feels personal and inviting,” they say.

That philosophy carries across high-end residences, commercial projects, and bespoke yacht interiors. Scale may change, but the approach does not. Each project begins with understanding how a client lives.

“We design for our clients’ daily rhythms by asking questions like, ‘What’s your ideal day?’” they explain. “We then translate those stories into functional designs with fluid layouts and custom details that reflect their lifestyle.”

The result is spaces that prioritize movement and function as much as aesthetics. Layouts are open but purposeful. Materials are chosen not only for appearance, but for durability. Details are custom, but never gratuitous.

Heritage and travel shape the studio’s emotional tone. Anastasio’s Greek background and Shawn’s Caribbean roots inform a design language that nods to Mediterranean ease without leaning into theme.

“We use whites, neutrals, and organic forms to evoke a mix of Mediterranean calm and Caribbean flair,” they note, creating interiors that feel sun-washed and restorative in South Florida’s climate.

Luxury, in their view, is about intention. “We curate with intention, using multifunctional pieces in durable, patina-rich materials mixed with clients’ personal artifacts,” they say. “This ensures homes feel beautifully lived-in rather than overly perfect.”

That balance between beauty and livability defines their work. Homes are designed to be used, not just admired. Yachts are tailored for both performance and comfort. Commercial spaces reflect brand identity without sacrificing warmth.

Looking ahead, the duo is evolving thoughtfully. Sustainable materials, including bio-fabrics, are becoming part of their specifications. They are exploring new markets in the Caribbean and integrating technology for smarter living, allowing their coastal aesthetic to adapt without losing its core.
