The lightness of the shapes is expressed in the gaps between yhe lines. The freshness, in the choise of fabrics proposed. The design, in the refinement of the stylistic detail.

Outdoor furniture with a strong character but which can be collocated in so many different contexts. It is easy to imagine them placed on the edge of a modern swimming pool as well as outside an ancient country villa, under the pergola of a rustic house on the hill or as a relaxation area in a luxury SPA in the mountains.

The colours of the structure metal, artfully inserted into the teak, are optionable in white, carob, ice, black and night finish: bold shades with a strong visual impact. Through the combination with the different fabrics, surprising results of absolute elegance can be created!

The new SMANIA mood is based on the use of natural, warm materials with neutral tones, which combine perfectly with the essences.

Woven leather, precious stones, shiny gold, are just some of the details that embellish this collection and that design a new modern and simple luxury, but still recognizable and characteristic.

The simplicity of the refined lines is also found in the construction of the new products. An entire line based on the juxtaposition of two main elements which, joined together, create shapes for every environment: a cube and a “bridge“, which give life to interesting structures starting from a simple concept.

This is how the architect Giuseppe Viganò designs the new DADO collection for SMANIA: based on the link between two forms that complement each other and find full meaning in their mutual existence. This is the common thread that distinguishes and identifies the furniture that composes it with character.

Soft sculptural features characterise its design while its sophisticated upholstery creates a cradle for long lasting relaxation, just like this “classic” shade par excellence, a timeless passepartout nuance.

“In these hard times, as we approach a new decade, the Pantone Color Institute has gone back in time.” Derby is a nod to the Chesterfield armchair, an indisputable icon of British style. The original quilting and metal details bring a contemporary feel to its contours and identify the chair as a Smania piece. Shiny silhouettes trace Derby’s elegant shapes, further accentuating its soft look.

An outstanding setting for photographing the Smania Nest collection was the orangerie with its arched windows, built at the start of the 20^th century and renovated by architect Rupolo. Initially created as a greenhouse in which to house and protect exotic plants during the winter, it has always been used as a summer sitting room and has now become a centre for bookcrossing. It exalts, therefore, an osmotic relationship between indoors and outdoors, between domestic and open spaces; the perfect canvas upon which to portray the collection conceived by Giuseppe Viganò and intended to stimulate an open interaction between nature and design.

Evocative atmospheres which leave space for the colours and scents of the landscape are found in the second location selected for photographing Smania’s collection: Le Cementine, a restaurant immersed in the green landscape of Ca’ Tron’s suggestive countryside. The restaurant is named for its unique floor, made up of cement tiles that were recovered and re-laid haphazardly to create a continuous surface that flows from interior to exterior. In harmony with the fluvial environment in which it has been inserted, the structure has a strong yet gentle shape: an elongated, single-level volume with windows on three sides which make it possible to enjoy the surrounding nature from within.

Elegant pairings and sophisticated solutions, inspired by classic craftsmanship, like that of Viennese straw, and characterised by Smania Nest strong personality, embraced by two locations that, like the collection, are symbolic of the inside-out trend and the desire to respond to modern man’s search for mental and physical comfort that can be achieved only when one is in contact with nature.

An important dialogue between aesthetics and functionality: Smania develops products with an artisan DNA, capable of conveying its innate passion for the transformation of raw materials.

The combination of warm and cold elements (wood grains and stone, fabric and metal) is a touch of class which enhances luxurious and sophisticated furniture. It is based upon this premise, and thanks to intense research and experimentation, that the Smania Design Department has brought to life new and vibrant products aimed at bringing luxury into the primary spaces within the home.

The KLIZIA bedroom is an entirely new series, made up of a bed and a swivelling armchair, both characterised by the unique helicoidal and enveloping shape of the headboard and backrest, upholstered entirely by hand by skilled artisans; a product that marks the return of short legs in Smania’s catalogue.

In the dining area, the eccentric CHAMBORD dining table, with either a marble or rosewood top, is supported by an extraordinary metal base, which can also be admired in the Giselle side table, available in shiny or polished matte steel, shiny black nickel, or pink gold.
ELLEN is a small eclectic armchair characterised by an elegant leather weave that embraces the seat and adds the finishing touch to a chair whose harmonious combination of materials (steel, leather, fabric) give it a refined look.

Coordinated with the Paul table and the Gatsby chairs comes the BRIGITTE console, wood with steel details and precious stones for the front of its drawers: Labradorite, Malachite, Tiger’s Eye.

The new ABBY armchair is versatile and inviting. Perfect in any environment, it stands out with its playful combination of classical and modern styles and both soft and hard features. The unique design associates a seemingly inflexible structure with internal softness.

What’s the secret to furnishing a luxury apartment? A large and striking chandelier in the living or dining room! KEPLERO is a chandelier with unusual geometric shapes in painted steel with a velvety look and spherical ampoules in white etched glass.

Contours that have been carefully studied, symmetries that give character and form to that which nature created. The pursuit of unrivalled balance in the combination of materials so drastically different from one another, and yet paired so masterfully as to create exclusive pieces of furniture.

Five-star elegance and service define the characteristic Mediterranean-style structure. The 91 suites and 7 villas boast interiors which have been redesigned according to the most current design criteria. The true gems of the resort are the 18-hole golf course, the spa, and the 5 world class restaurants, as well as a hydroponic farm.

The infinity pool framed by Smania’s stylish outdoor furniture is breathtaking, thanks to its carefully selection and masterfully setting made by the architectural studio Atelier d’Architecture 111: the teak Palmas lounge chairs with steel details, the Amalfi cabanas for private relaxation, and the exotically alluring Marrakesh lamps.

Smania furnishes prestigious outdoor spaces to be shared in a relaxing environment. Artisan savoir faire combines with thoughtful use of long lasting materials that are resistant to adverse weather conditions and atmospheric agents; a choice in which elegance does not take the back seat. From sofas to lamps, Smania’s outdoor furniture transforms a simple garden into a heavenly oasis where one can indulge in ultimate relaxation.

Sartorial flexibility is the key element that confirms a brand in the large-scale contract sector, a sector in which Smania is able to satisfy specific demands with a wide range of services offered during the design phase.

The objectives are perfection in the details, a focus on high-quality materials, and a study of the balance of proportions, elements which characterise the most elite homes, most elegant offices, most stylish outdoor spaces, and most prestigious yachts and hotels in the world.

For the first time, the signature of the architect and designer Ferruccio Laviani encounters the Smania philosophy. A winning formula that is expressed in two elegant projects for the living area.

A new and distinguishable language that takes advantage of the handcrafted culture and the meticulous attention to detail, which has always been the prerogative of the brand.

Versatile proposals that proudly enter into the Smania catalogue, enriching the range dedicated to the luxury living room.

The Charme series, composed of a sofa and armchair, masterfully embodies the concept of balance between classic and modern, versatile aesthetic solutions that profoundly distinguish the Smania identity.

The structure brings to mind the historical “hunting” model, considered the original prototype of a sofa when it made its first appearance at the start of the seventeenth century in the Knole House, historic English country residence located in Kent. A contemporary interpretation that makes linear and clean geometries the strong point for a fresh and essential design, which are in contrast with the soft volumes of the seating that offer an enveloping support.

The design of the Charlotte sofa is expressed through large-volume cushions that discreetly conceal the structure. The highlighted seams are another valuable design element. A luxury solution that emerges in the careful attention to detail, from the leather-covered feet to the elements in steel.

Once again, this Made in Italy excellence is born from the union of passion and bold aesthetic taste, which can be customised in the upholstery and finishes.

Smania Nest by Giuseppe Viganò | Salone del Mobile 2019

The name itself, Nest, is inspired by the attitudes of the collection, designed to convey, through importance of nature and the beneficial influence it has on the person, both physically and psychologically. Smania Nest was born as an innovative response to this need, combining originality and versatility.

The new collection delineates, with its products and its moods, an unprecedented osmotic balance between interior and exterior, between the desire for freedom and the security of a comfortable shelter. From the apartment in the city to the country villa, from the veranda to the winter garden: these are perfect furnishings for living in the spaces that are dearest to us, without defined limits.

SMANIA confirms the Salone del Mobile Milano as the ideal stage for launching its new proposals and telling the story of its refined and sensual moods.

Also this year animated by great enthusiasm, SMANIA is proud to represent the excellence of Made in Italy in the xLux Hall, dedicated to timeless luxury. Elegance, style, bold beauty, exclusivity, tailoring: the luxury of SMANIA products knows no boundaries. Behind this result there is an enviable know-how and a profound culture of craftsmanship, which has its roots in the history of a territory that has handed down its manufacturing secrets from generation to generation. There is strong creative DNA that drives the company toward always exploring new paths, finding new balances, languages and eclectic designs, to which can be added a search for perfection at all levels, from the design stage to the realisation of every single detail. Above all, linking all these elements together is a great passion, lively and shared.

The most modern among the classics, the most classic among the moderns: the atmospheres created by SMANIA are unique and embrace the entire house, thanks to its total look proposal, which never ceases to expand and enrich itself. There are many new proposals that SMANIA brings to Milan this year, the protagonists of an eye-catching arrangement: a vast panorama of new products dedicated to those who seek to surround themselves with objects that are precious, refined, highly customisable in their materials and finishes, to impeccably interpret each person’s tastes and needs. Next to the new proposals, SMANIA proposes some iconic products born from historical collaborations, symbol of continuity and timeless design.

Smania Nest

SMANIA expands its furnishing proposal by designing an entire collection in collaboration with Giuseppe Viganò / Studio Viganò. Animating Smania Nest is a very dynamic vision of living, which explores the relationship between man and nature. It is a dreamy interpretation of contemporary living, which is expressed through an eclectic and fascinating design, perfectly in line with the classic and modern taste of the brand.

The name itself, Nest, is inspired by the attitudes of the collection, designed to convey, through its warm and enveloping atmospheres, the idea of a luxurious retreat, within which to feel serene, in harmony with oneself and with the outside world. Mankind has always known the importance of nature and the beneficial influence it has on the person, both physically and psychologically. Smania Nest was born as an innovative response to this need, combining originality and versatility. The new collection delineates, with its products and its moods, an unprecedented osmotic balance between interior and exterior, between the desire for freedom and the security of a comfortable shelter. From the apartment in the city to the country villa, from the veranda to the winter garden: these are perfect furnishings for living in the spaces that are dearest to us, without defined limits.

It is a collection designed primarily for the living area and the sleeping area, complete with every element, from lighting to carpets, so as to configure as a total look. Each product is designed and built with sculptural expertise and with special attention given to materials, capable of once again highlighting SMANIA’s valuable heritage of knowledge.

Wood is reconfirmed as a protagonist with sinuous lines and soft finishes, in perfect harmony with other noble materials, such as leather, metals, fabrics and glass, many of them with surprising textures. Stylish combinations, sophisticated solutions, inspired by classic workmanship, such as Viennese Weave, which has entered into the history of design, and today is reinterpreted in a modern key through an original leather weave with a unique design. To characterise the entire collection there is a design with a strong personality, defined by clean lines, essential volumes, construction details of great value and exotic decorative motifs.

The products that make up Smania Nest are: the KILLIAN armchair and sofa, in the double linear and angular version, the ZAREN coffee table, the HARRIET side table, available in the round and low square versions, the FLINT table, round and rectangular, the ANTILLIA armchair, the CASSIDY sideboard, the MERA showcase, the ATLANTIS double bed, the KIDA nightstand and dresser, the AZAR mirror, the PALM and TROPIC carpets, and the SAMSARA series, which includes a screen, floor lamp, table lamp and wall light. The wood essence chosen is ash, available with a honey or dark brown finish or customisable in grey, grey silk, beige, blue, green and burgundy lacquers, the same colours that reappear in the carpets and fabric patterns.

A cosy and comfortable nest, an elegant corner of peace in which to surrender, accompanied by the pleasant sensation of immersion in nature: Smania Nest promises to evoke the same freedom and lightness one feels when in the great outdoors.

The new proposals designed by Ferruccio Laviani

Working with established and talented designers remains a winning formula for SMANIA, which allows it to express its voice and philosophy through new eyes and multiple languages. To interpret the spirit and know-how of the company we now find the renowned architect and designer Ferruccio Laviani.

His proposals revolve around the living area and admirably express the artisan culture of SMANIA and a meticulous attention to detail. Fascinating and elegant, the proposals designed by Ferruccio Laviani are extremely versatile and multipurpose.

The CHARME sofa and armchair perfectly embody the balance between classic and modern that distinguishes SMANIA, recalling, in their structure, the historical “hunting” model. The linear and clean geometries outline a fresh and essential design, while the soft volumes offer a comfortable and enveloping support. The CHARLOTTE sofa, more airy and lighter in configuration, discreetly conceals its structure within attractive cushioning with abundant and elongated volumes. An external border clearly highlights the seams, while the feet stand out for their leather upholstery and details in steel.

The new proposals designed by Rune Ricciardelli

The collaboration with the designer Rune Ricciardelli, who designs three new proposals for SMANIA, dedicated mainly to the office, is renewed and consolidated. Unquestionably dominating the scene is the new FRANK desk, an imposing symbol of power. Supported by a light steel base with squared shapes, the body of the desk consists of a monumental monolith in wood, embellished laterally by a steel insert at the perimeter, available in various finishes. Inside the desktop there is a hidden compartment equipped with electrical sockets and compartments, designed to house the laptop, documents and stationery. Combined with FRANK, the CAREY executive chair contributes to making the office luxurious and comfortable.

Ideal for the central location, but also for the wall, the FLOYD double-sided console expresses the same impressiveness of FRANK, lending itself perfectly to furnishing the office or an environment of representation.

The new proposals created by the SMANIA Design Department

Creative, lively and always engaged in research and experimentation, even the in-house design department has many new proposals to present at the Salone del Mobile of Milan, dedicated to the entire house.

In the dining area we find the eccentric CHAMBOARD dining table, with a marble or rosewood top, supported by an extraordinary painted steel base, combined with the eclectic ELLEN armchair, distinguished by sophisticated leather weaving that laterally embraces the whole seat. The proposal is completed by the KEPLERO ceiling chandelier in velvet-effect painted steel and spherical ampoules in white etched glass.

Coordinated instead to the PAUL table and the GATSBY chairs, is the BRIGITTE console in precious feathered walnut, with steel details and drawer fronts that can be made of precious labradorite. Versatile and inviting, the new ABBY armchair, ideal for any environment, stands out for the play of geometric lines that draw square volumes that are also soft and welcoming.

The KLIZIA bedroom is entirely new, composed of a bed and a swivel armchair, both characterised by the particular helical and enveloping shape of the backrest, entirely hand-upholstered by skilled experts.

Great attention has been paid this year to the office environment, with products designed by Rune Ricciardelli, and completed by the lighting designed by the Smania Design Department. SHUTTLE is an anodised aluminium lamp with silver or gold finish, available in the floor and table version, with adjustable luminous body.

SMANIA’s total look proposal is also enriched with new furnishing accessories and exceptional new marbles, Explosion Blue and Calacatta Cielo.
