The Steelcase Giveaway Has a Winner!

Our hearty congratulations go out to Rebecca Sama, whose inspiring custom design for the Steelcase Think Chair has been declared the winner!

We picked our winner at random, but it must be said that Rebecca has superb taste. The beautiful cogent upholstery and platinum base finish are perfectly set off by the tasteful yet distinctive maya blue color of the fabric. Her tasteful submission is more than worthy of the custom Think Chair she will receive.

Again, a hearty congratulations goes out to Rebecca from the entire Smart Furniture team, and also thanks to the fine folks at Steelcase for helping make this happen (and for making comfortable chairs too).

Don't forget that you too can create your own unique designs and share them with friends and family through out innovative email button on every product page. Keep designing!

Innovation Sofa Beds and Daybeds

We're introducing a new product line this month at Smart Furniture. Innovation is an up-and-coming Danish design firm specializing in day beds and sofa beds, and their creations are elegant, comfortable, and easy to use. Products like the Cassius Sleek Excess Sofa Bed Lounger make sleeper sofas beautiful and unique. When folded down the bed is large, soft, and devoid of rigid metal supports that can press uncomfortably on backs and sides at rest. Innovation cares first and foremost about design and comfort, and you can see that clearly in their modernist approach on the sleeper sofa. Take for instance the Wing Deluxe Sofa Bed, a beautiful leather sleeper sofa that looks just as beautiful set up as it does broken down into a bed. For the budget conscious or the space deprived, Innovation also has a great line of daybeds, like the Zeal Deluxe Daybed. These charming pieces are comfortable, attractive, compact, and flexible - perfect for a daybed. We're so happy showcase Innovation products online, and we know you will be too once you take a look at some of their wonderful sofas and daybeds. Let us know what you think.

In the early 1940s, Charles and his wife, Ray, experimented with wood-molding techniques that would have profound effects on the design world. After their experimentation with plywood, they turned their attention to what Charles called the "fantastic things being made of wire." From welded wire rods, they created a number of furniture items, including the Wire Base Table. One of the many uses the Eameses had for this compact table in their own home was the chanoyu, or traditional Japanese tea ceremony.

Day 4 Winner of the Eames Giveaway

All the entries for Day Four of the 12 Days of Eames have been counted, and we have a winner! Our congratulations to Megan Brown from Colorado; she's won her own Eames Molded Plywood Lounge Chair!

In the early 1940s, Charles and his wife, Ray, experimented with wood-molding techniques that would have profound effects on the design world. Their discoveries led to a commission from the U.S. Navy in 1942 to develop plywood splints, stretchers, and glider shells molded under heat and pressure. After World War II, they adapted the technology to create inexpensive, high-quality chairs that could be mass-produced. The process eliminated the extraneous wood needed to connect the seat with the back, which reduced the weight and visual profile of the chair and established a basis for modern furniture design. The chair is in the permanent collection of New York's Museum of Modern Art.

Send us a photo of yourself with your new beautiful chair, Megan! We'd love to see how perfect it looks in your home.. Remember: enter once per day, folks - you'll have a chance to win any prize from the remaining days of the giveaway! We'll announce Day Five's winner around 5 P.M. on December 5th.
