It's not a poster. It's a blueprint.
Twelve technical drawings where every dimension means something real: the height of the sun at 1:48 p.m., the exact angle that keeps a dovetail from ever pulling apart. A poster gets chosen to match the couch and wears thin in six months. A blueprint holds the wall for years. Printed one at a time, on demand, in the United States.
The clock runs in business days: every day you put it off is one more day of empty wall.
Every number on the print means something
A decorative poster gets chosen to match the couch, and it wears thin in six months. A technical drawing says something true about one specific thing, and that holds a wall for years.
Zenith is drawn at 71°. It isn't an ornament: it's the real height of the sun at 1:48 p.m. The dovetail carries the angle that actually keeps the joint from ever pulling apart. So when someone asks you what it is, you have something to tell them.
Dimensions, halftones, mono type and a single green. Nothing is there because it looked nice.
One print decorates. A whole wall says something.
Six, nine or twelve prints hung together stop being decoration and become the wall of the room. And it works out far better: the 6-print Gallery Wall is $169 — under $29 a print instead of $39 — the 9-print wall is $269, and all twelve together are $319 instead of $468. It isn't a pricing trick: they travel together in a single shipment, and we hand that saving to you.
Twelve prints, four ways of looking
Each trio tells one whole thing: a threshold, a wait, a day, a joint. Hang one on its own, or all three and let them talk to each other.
Threshold Herbarium
Bay laurel, rosemary, fennel: umbel plants. Umbel and threshold share a root, and both of them open. For the entryway and the hall — that wall you walk past and never stand still in front of.

Process Chart
Distillation, decanting, infusion: three prints about what takes time. On the Infusion print it is written that none of those curves measures anything, and that all of them describe the same thing — waiting.

Phases of Light
Dawn 6:12, Zenith 1:48, Dusk 9:34. The height of the sun at one exact hour. Nobody photographs 1:48 in the afternoon, and that is exactly the hour your life actually happens.

Wood Joints
Half-lap, dovetail, mortise and tenon. Pull as hard as you like: in the direction you are pulling, that joint does not open. And there isn't a drop of glue in it.

Same paper, same ink, same way of looking: they sit well together even when they come from different series.

Frequently asked questions
Which size do I pick — 30×40, 50×70 or 70×100 cm?
30×40 cm — about 11.8×15.7 in — ($39) is for short walls: the gap between two doors, above a dresser, a narrow hallway. It gets looked at up close and in passing.
50×70 cm — about 19.7×27.6 in — ($89) is for when the wall is seen from a distance — from the couch, from the dining table — and needs something to hold it. If the wall is completely bare and you're unsure, it is almost always the 50×70.
And 70×100 cm — about 27.6×39.4 in — ($139) is the big format: at that size the dimensions and numbers read standing up, from the other side of the room.
Three prints from the same trio in 30×40 cm are the Gallery Set ($99).
Does it come with a frame?
No. It is the loose print, unframed. That feels more honest to us: the frame is the part that has to talk to your home, not to us. And that way you decide whether it goes oak, black or white.
One thing worth knowing before you buy: our sizes are metric — 30×40, 50×70 and 70×100 cm, which is about 11.8×15.7, 19.7×27.6 and 27.6×39.4 in. A US 12×16", 20×28" or 28×40" frame is a fraction larger, so with a mat it sits perfectly, and without one you may see a hair of a gap at the edges. If you want an exact fit, look for a frame sold in centimetres — 30×40 and 50×70 cm frames are easy to find online in the US.
How long does it take to arrive?
6-8 business days from the day you order. It is printed to order in the United States: there is no stock waiting in a warehouse, your print starts existing the day you ask for it. If you order on a Friday, count from the following Monday. Shipping is free anywhere in the US and you get a tracking number by email as soon as it ships.
What paper is it printed on?
200 gsm uncoated matte paper. The matte matters more than it sounds: it is the difference between seeing the drawing and seeing your ceiling light reflected back at you. And the 200 gsm weight is what keeps the print holding itself flat instead of buckling inside the frame.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
Every print is made to order, only for you, and nothing is held in stock — so all sales are final and we do not accept change-of-mind returns. Please pick your size carefully before you order; the guidance above is there for exactly that.
If it arrives damaged, defective or it is the wrong item, we do cover it. Email vexaprojectcj@gmail.com within 14 days of delivery with your order number and photos of the print and the packaging, and we send you a free reprint. Do not ship anything back without written authorization first. Full details in our returns and refunds policy.
How can I pay?
Through Shopify's encrypted checkout, with the payment methods listed there when you check out — card, and the digital wallets your device supports. We never see or store your card details at any point.
