In the outskirts of Milan, Italy there is an area called "La Brianza". A group of little towns where the "Artigiani di Mobili" furniture artisans work on their craft in small family shops most often located in their homes. This is the place where prized dealers from all over the world come to buy directly the best handcrafted furniture in existence today.

Smania's Showroom in Sherman Oaks, California

We at Smania are proud to have been able to bring to our customers for the past twenty years the best and always exclusively commissioned furniture from "La Brianza".

Intricate inlays, hand carving and refinishing (see the Makers page), are exemplary in their details to the perfection. Seasoned natural woods, meticulously hand-picked exotic veneers, inlay of sand burned maple roots, gold gilding and choice of precious fabrics are only part of this masterfully orchestrated symphony of beauty and elegance.

The Design, which sometimes reflects models of past eras, has a unique feeling of new vigor and vibrancy. Each piece is in its own right more than just a reproduction, it is in the final analysis a work of art, which will remain in time to become an heirloom.

Sincerely,
-- Mario Fard
