smilow|lighting ÂŽ
Mel Smilow (1922–2002) designed and retailed modern furniture and lighting through his six independently owned stores from 1949 to the late 1970’s. A champion of affordable, finely crafted, modern design —his work has been recognized and coveted by collectors and well appreciated by his loyal customers for over 50 years. His lighting, designed in 1956, was inspired by classic sculpture. Smilow created lighting of simple elegance in warm natural solid walnut, with complimentary handmade birch matchstick shades. It is with great pleasure, that continuing on as a family owned business, we reintroduce this beautiful lighting line to compliment his furniture.
