Smart Design Studio worked closely with the client on the selection of furnishings to create an atmosphere of sophisticated family living.

Contemporary furniture favourites like Poliform’s Marenco Sofa, Armadillo & Co rugs and of course Carl Hansen + Son’s eternally-beloved Elbow chairs provide style with the hardiness for everyday family living.
From restoring the relationship between the exterior and interior spaces of the home to reinvigorating the existing home with light, space and contemporary details, Smart Design Studio have delivered a family home with confidence and charm.
