a September to Remember

"Create form out of the nature of our tasks
with the methods of our time."

—Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

Nothing is more classic, more timeless, than modern design. Presenting Knoll Space — featuring furniture by Harry Bertoia, Frank Gehry, Maya Lin, Mies van der Rohe and Eero Saarinen, manufactured to the designers' exacting standards.

Smart Furniture Studio is pleased to introduce Knoll! Come browse our catalog of modern classics, available for pre-order. Visit Smart Furniture Studio and join us in a conversation inspired by Knoll — What is Space? Keep your eye out for our "Knoll in Chattanooga" event!

Bourgie, meet 24 Karat. Baroque, meet Revolutionary.

The revisiting of a classic: the baroque table lamp. Smart Furniture Studio introduces The Bourgie, designed by Ferruccio Laviani, manufactured by Kartell. Infused with a playful sense of irony, the Bourgie merges high-baroque styling and modern materials. On the one hand, it is classical, rich and traditional; on the other, it is innovative and revolutionary. The Bourgie's revolutionary feature is that it is made entirely of transparent or batch-dyed polycarbonate. And in this case, ABS plated with 24 karat gold with galvanic coating. Ba-Da-Bling! The baroque style base is composed of three decorated layers that interconnect, and the large lampshade has a softly pleated texture that creates a myriad play of reflections once the lamp is turned on. Yes, I admit, I'm starry eyed for gold plated plastic. Aren't you?! Come see for yourself, at Smart Furniture Studio!

Son Of A Bench!

Son Of A Bench...simultaneously: function, sculpture, and colorful conversational interjection. Interlocking loops of hot-rolled steel create an intriguing form of mass and space. A glossy black rubber-dipped skin positively drips with attitude. Repeat after me: Son Of A Bench! Now, you want one.

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...
