Setu or not to Setu

2010-03-02T13:33:00.000-08:00

The Setu chair is new from Herman Miller. It can be a great home office chair, and they just came out with an awesome lounge chair version. This chair looks super cool, and is a great option if you are sitting for a few hours a day. This chair is under $600 and is a slick, stylish office chair. Look what Tracye had to say:

"I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for your help with the purchase of my new chair. I have been living in it for a couple of weeks.

The fabric swatches you sent me were extremely helpful, I am completely satisfied with my color selection. The advice you gave me on choosing the appropriate height adjustment was spot on. The "standard" height adjustment selection is perfect for me and most average height users. I have it adjusted based on your recommendations and it is very comfortable (I think I have been adjusting my seat too high for years).

The chair arrived well packed a day earlier than expected, it would have been a week earlier if not for the snow storms we experienced.

My first choice for a task chair is the Eames Aluminum Management (based purely on aesthetics), but this is a nice substitute until I'm ready to upgrade.

I'll be sure to contact you for any future needs and recommend SmartFurniture to my friends and colleagues."

This is a design for a shoe store that I worked on. She had all sorts of shoes to store, and we created different areas in the space for all the shoes to show!

Steelcase Office

2009-04-22T12:34:00.000-07:00

Here is the Steelcase Think chair with a Steelcase extended curve desk. My client was left handed and wanted the computes on the left side, while leaving space on the right to meet with clients face to face. We acomplished this goal by giving her a desk with a small left return for the computer while still keeping the front of the desk clear to meet with clients. We added a mobile filling cabinet for under desk file storage.

Bookcase for that Odd Area

2009-04-09T14:00:00.000-07:00

Michael came to me and asked how I could solve his storage needs in an odd space under the stairs. We worked together to create this perfect design for his space.

After working with him for a few weeks, this is what he had to say after the design was ordered and installed -
"I just wanted to send you a note of thanks for the excellent planning, patience, and outcome of the bookcase system I recently purchased from Smart Furniture. You were really wonderful to work with and made my buying experience such a pleasant one. I make almost all my purchases on the Net and I've had plenty of less fortunate experiences.

The high quality of the product--but mostly your extremely considerate customer service guarantees for me that I'll be getting back to you when I'm ready to complete my home-office.

By the way, the unit looks fantastic and it's such an elegant contemporary solution to the use of space. I really love the way it uses the entire staircase wall.

Again, thanks for your help, friendliness, and expertise."

- Michael S.

Blue Jeans

2009-04-03T13:15:00.001-07:00

This is a design for a high end jeans store. The trend with jeans is to fold. I gave the client folding tables, along with a T-way rack to display the style. The wall hooks will display the styles and the different sizes will be folded in the cubes below. You can spot light the styles with spot lights on the top. White mannequins can be placed around the store with jeans and white t-shirts. A marketing ideas is to advertise on their shirts - hand write the sale in black marker. This will give the high end store some edge and a great marketing tool at the same time!

10x10 Tradeshow Booth - "The center piece was genius because what ever I put on top was selling." - quote from the client.

2009-03-31T14:43:00.000-07:00

This is a tradeshow booth I worked on with a client who sold ceramics. She had a 10x10 booth and needed a desk for cash and carry items to be wrapped. We gave her a tiered design with several clip on lights, a wrapping desk, and a silo. She loved the silo, "The center piece was genius because what ever I put on top was selling." - quote from the client.

Men's Shaving Products

2009-03-25T08:54:00.000-07:00

This was a 10x10 booth created for a men's shaving line. They wanted a space that was inviting to come in and take a look at all the great products they offered. They wanted lots of cubes to keep all the different products organized. I think I took the idea they had into the real thing!

Kitchen Design

2009-03-25T08:42:00.001-07:00

This is an upscale kitchen design for a company in Canada. They had a different layout that we worked with to give the most retail space to display products. They had lime green in the logo, so we incorporated that into the floor plan. We added lime green cubitec to the space and also added the stripe around the wall.

2009-03-24T07:17:00.000-07:00

2009-03-12T09:50:00.000-07:00

Here is an example of a tradeshow booth I have recently worked on. The company sells tabletop items, and needed some deep shelving and tables to set up table scapes. We provided them with lighting, and inserts to market their line information. This was ordered and shipped out in two days to the show in Chicago.
This is a 10x30 booth with 12"deep maple shelving, nesting tables, with clip lights, and clear inserts for marketing material.

Pharmacy Design

2009-03-12T08:43:00.000-07:00

Here is an example of a floor plan I have been working on for the past month. This is a gift store/pharmacy that is attached to an Assisted Living facility. The client wanted lots of wall shelves, and free in the middle for his clients to walk through the space with no problem. This design started with a layout from the client, which turned into this drawing, which generated an estimate, then lead to an order. This design was completed in a month time frame, and shipped the next day after the order was placed. If you have any questions or would like to get started on a design of your own - please e-mail me.
