Show your Dad some Love

Father's Day is this Sunday, June 20th. Show Pop some appreciation with a cool gift from Smart Furniture Studio. The following are three gift ideas for the greatest father in the world:



The High Power Z-Bar Desk Lamp by Koncept, $169

This is the next generation of the award-winning Z-Bar Desk Lamp, a super sleek lamp about as wide as your finger, longer than your arm, and ultra-adjustable. This new version retains the design of the original Z-Bar but consumes less electricity and gives the user a range of brightness to choose from with a 4-setting dimming feature. How long is the lifespan? 40,000 hours!

The Sanctuary Charging Station by Bluelounge, $129.95

The Sanctuary is a beautiful, simple solution to a real everyday problem: where to put the multitude of personal items we all carry around so they are easily located again when later needed and, always fully charged.

The simple and compact design conceals a universal charger compatible with over 1500 electronic devices from most major brands and a USB port allowing hundreds more electronic devices to be charged using just The Sanctuary. Users can from now on charge their cell phone, PDA, Blackberry, iPod, MP3 player, and bluetooth headset simultaneously in one location.

The Gents Business Card Holder by Blomus, $15.00

The Blomus Gents Flip Business Card Case protects business cards from damage while adding a smart, contemporary note to business networking events. The Gents Flip Business Card Case features stainless steel construction and classic style. Don't let you Dad carry around a bent business card again!

Good Design Rain or Shine

An appropriate title given the recent weather! This month, as we move closer to Autumn, is the perfect time to experience Pure Design. We have two new and exclusive lines that exemplify Smart Design, Bluelounge (previous blog post) and Blomus (pictured). Blomus is a innovative German company who creates designs for the Pure Life--Accessories that combine simplicity of function with the beauty of Stainless Steel. Blomus accessories are the perfect gift for the hard to please friend or family member, unique with a great price. Their design philosophy is simple, "to soften the cold and sterile material stainless steel and combine it with other materials without losing sight of our overall aim."

I personally invite you to our Studio this month for a preview of Blomus and Bluelounge accessories. Don't forget, Thursday the 22nd from 6pm-8pm, the Studio will host an Art Show featuring one of Chattanooga's most talented and versatile artists: Linda Kerlin. We call it smART.show. I cannot think of a better way to spend my Thursday evening, sipping wine, discussing abstract art and good design. Did I mention its free?

Keel’s Simple Diary

Philipp Keel, artist and writer brings a new twist on the diary. Guided by the notion that life rushes us by and we are not able to find time to reflect on the days as they pass, Keel came up with a quirky, imaginative and sometimes very humorous way to journal your day to day life. Keel’s diary is more of a multiple choice test than endless blank pages…except unlike a test you are left feeling uplifted and renewed. This Journal is a perfect gift for a friend or loved one. Its incites are endless….Just a small example…

Did I mention they come in great colors. Orange. Brown. Red. Green.

Come browse Smart Furniture Studio’s full selection of Taschen books. Taschen books are always a unique addition to any book collection…not to mention they make for great bed side accessories. Grab one for inspiration or stack 10-15 to make readable side tables. The company is known for their ability to capture the world of art, architecture and design. How could you go wrong with titles like Architecture Now! Green, Classic Cars of the 1950’s, and 1000 Chairs.
