Today, Home and Decoration will show you some great design projects by iconic interior designer Michael S Smith in the City that Never Sleeps. Smith is without a doubt one of the most respected and original talents in the North-American Design Industry. His design firm, Michael S Smith Inc, was launched in 1990 in NYC, and since then it has been expanding from projects solely for private clients to his line of fine furniture and fabrics named “Jasper”.

With an international profile of residential, hospitality, and commercial clients, Smith’s style is a seamless blend of European classicism and American modernism—always fresh, always evolving, always underscored by the belief that everyone should live with things they love. Let’s see some of the stunning projects this designer has produced in the past years!

One of his biggest and most stunning projects in New York was the redesign of his very own fabulous NYC Penthouse, which Smith renovated with Oscar Shamamian of Ferguson & Shamamian Architects. With a touch of French Classical influence, this Penthouses boasts a Retro and Monarch Style that takes us back to the French Royalty Golden Days and that reminds us of the great Palace of Versailles! With some of Jasper’s Fabrics and Furniture to complete the stunning Royal look, this Penthouse is a great example of Royal Opulence with amazing Mirrors and powerful sofas.

Also located in New York is another stunning Penthouse designed by Michael S. Smith that follows the Royal and Vintage Parisian Decor Style. With a lot of Gold and Classic Furniture that it’s mixed with some incredible Jasper Elements, this Penthouse boosts the Perfect Opulent Style! The living room, for instance, is the perfect example of a glamorous royal style. We can see a Moore sculpture is displayed on an 18th-century gilt-wood console from H. M. Luther with a Sicilian-Jasper-veneered top. A pair of Empire fauteuils from Mallett stand beside a Carrara-marble mantel attributed to Sir John Soane, purchased from Chesney’s. The armchairs covered in a silk stripe are by Jonas, and the cocktail table is by Magni Home Collection. The all set provides a stunning decor!

We must also highlight the stunning decor this amazing designer produced for the Obama’s at the White House. It’s far from New York we know, but the White House Project is definitely one of Michal S Smith’s top works! The Smith-Obama collaboration progressed in much the same way as any typical designer-client relationship and the end result, as you can see, was amazing. It mixed the Classic Style of the White House Building with a Modern look of the Obama’s and that mix is evident in the Modern Living Room that Smith produced.

As you can see from the examples above, Michael S. Smith follows a more stylish, classic, and opulent style of design. In his projects, he usually uses some amazing Art Work from Classic Painters and, at least, one Century-Old Furniture Piece that includes some personality to the Overall Decor! His projects also present some stunning pieces from his very own luxury furniture brand, Jasper, that also mimics his love for classical design!
