About Us

You deserve prints that actually last.

Boring desks. Prints that fade fast. You want better, we get it. That is why X2Metal exists: ChromaLuxe metal prints and 5.5mm neoprene mouse pads, made bold, durable, and built to impress.

Hi There,

It looks like you are reading, or admiring or trying to make up your mind whether to HIT THAT BUY BUTTON → or maybe all.

Honestly, we have no idea how you landed here. Maybe it was our friends at Google or Apple or Facebook, or a random ad, or even a friend's recommendation. Either way, welcome! Your arrival is long overdue.

Since you're here, let's skip the small talk. You're probably wondering:

Who are we?
What do we do?
How did we get here?

Now that you're here, let's not beat around the bush, so here's the short story...

From Watches to Walls

X2Metal was founded by Navid Malik, whose entrepreneurial streak started with a $10-watch kiosk in college. That kicked off a winding road: retail leadership across Texas, Tennessee, and Illinois, then a run of storefronts across Iowa that grew steadily, until COVID shut every one of them down within weeks.

Starting over meant borrowing from his mom just to cover the bills. But the passion for building something never left. X2Metal is what came out of it, a studio turning striking art into metal prints and mouse pads that make a space feel like you.

This isn't a one-person show, its a team each covering a different part of getting your art from idea to your wall.
