Smania, with the new Contrast collection, reinterprets tailored woodworking
Smania’s essence is presented in a capsule collection which reinterprets the tailor made wood pieces and enriches the concept of materials that have always been part of the brand heritage: hand crafted wood veneers, leathers and fabrics.
Contrast, designed by Alessandro La Spada, is a collection which breaks old patterns, whose fil rouge is the contamination of styles. The multi-faceted designer brings into Smania unusual and bright colours, borrowed from fashion and automotive, creating an original interpretation of the luxury lifestyle.
Oriental sensations for the Jersey series which draws inspiration from the weave of a priceless fascinating fabric. Flowing lines on wood and leather upholstery create a unique texture, a dazzling result which catches the eye and directs the attention to chairs, lamps and wooden furniture.
The Amal armchair and the Jersey sideboard, with their quilted leather, carry out the job of presenting a preview of the series, which will unveil other brand new creations at Salone del Mobile in April.
The Lock series, as its name suggests, features an unmistakable shape of a lock that becomes the distinctive architecture of every piece of furniture, from the sofa to the dining table, from small tables to chest of drawers. A game of perspectives which reverses the conventional use of materials: wood that used to be always on the outside is moved to the inside, and the outside becomes a surface made of processed leather or nabuk. The final effect is a sensory pleasure with a overturning of perspectives and a choice of materials which focuses on a refined tactile sense.
Matt tobacco rosewood and matt rosewood, nubuck and black brushed nickel get a new lease on life thanks to careful and skilled craftsmanship, the greatest strength of Smania’s production.
