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.

Alessi. Did you know...?


The name Alessi is synonymous with influential and challenging design. Collaboration between the company and 20th Century star designers and architects has produced an array of classics, from the elegant condiment set of Ettore Sottsass to the anachnoid simplicity of Phillipe Starck's lemon squeezer.

“a true work of design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories, to surprise, to go against the grain... We work on expressive languages and on the expressive potential of the items... From this point of view, design intended... to conjure up images in people's minds, which makes them a bit happier, still has tremendous potential ”. - Alberto Alessi

In our humble Smart Furniture Studio opinion, Alessi = cool. Visit our Studio on Chattanooga's North Shore...
