Luxury beds among the most popular Smania products: Caesar Train
Luxury beds are a soft extension of the intimate space of the bedroom, offering relaxation at every point of their surfaces and comfortable elegance. Caesar Train is exactly that: three virtues that make this bed the most popular among Smania clients.
The tailor-made bedhead attracts the gaze from the first moment and makes it stand apart from other luxury double beds. The upholstery evokes moments of relaxation that go beyond the main function of every bed. This article of furniture is increasingly the centrepiece of the bedroom: it is a refuge for reading or an alternative, comfortable space to be used for the portable computer. In this way, the soft bedhead is an invitation, an elegant play of geometry set in a bright metal frame.
The style of Caesar Train is polyhedral. This bed is perfect in modern luxury bedrooms with a touch of the classic style. It perfectly suits both contemporary and more traditional furnishings. The Botticelli bedside tables, for example, combined with the curved lateral lines of the storage bed, create a delicate harmony. The Lock furniture is also perfect, enclosing lacquered, rounded shapes with leather-covered soft corners. This latter combination gives the bedroom an unconventional sophistication that speaks of exclusivity.
Caesar Train is available in four versions that differ in the width of the bedhead (3.6 metres and 2.15 meters and the size of the mattress (180×200 cm and 193×203 cm). All the different versions have various optional extras: the mattress, the lifting mechanism – to make good use of the storage space inside – and, for the beds with wider headboards, the option of inserting a pair of holes to house a electricity junction box.
In this way, you can have the bed that is most suitable for your needs but there’s even more you can do to personalise Caesar Train. The covering of the bedhead and storage space can be changed with a choice of more than thirty fabrics and more than ten types of leather, many available in a range of colours. Finally, you can choose a different metal, changing the hues and highlights of the frame of the bedhead.
Smania gives you a special option: to create your own original and unique Caesar Train, different from all other upholstered luxury beds. Visit the dedicated pages to discover all the materials available and start to image your unrivalled bed.
Luxury furnishing solutions for hotels, outdoor furnishings and homes by Smania
Depending on the environment we are furnishing, the functions and design of the furniture will be different. Smania offers many customisable solutions to satisfy anyone who needs to give luxury furnishing to a hotel, an outdoor setting or a home.
A hotel, a home, a garden or a patio: each one of them has specific characteristics and all are furnished according to different criteria to appear functional, elegant and luxurious at the same time. In fact, “luxury” is not only synonymous with opulence, but also with comfort: a piece of furniture cannot be beautiful to look at but uncomfortable or serving no purpose. This is why Smania allows you to customise each piece of furniture to make it ideal for any environment, whether it’s a luxury hotel, a villa or a patio. In this article, together we will look at the solutions proposed by Smania in terms of luxury furnishings for hotels, an outdoor setting and homes.
Furnishing a luxury hotel: elegance and inspiration with Smania
The world of hospitality is constantly evolving. More and more frequently, hotels aim at giving their customers a unique experience. How? By designing and modifying the interior and outdoor furnishings to guarantee personalised experiences, making the living room a nothing less than an escape from reality and, at the same time, attaining the maximum comfort with high quality furnishings. Smania proposes many luxury hotel furnishing solutions, each one customisable down to the smallest detail: here are the proposals for furnishing the main environments of a 5-star hotel.
Reception and lobby: the hotel’s business card
The reception and lobby is the first environment the customer encounters when entering a hotel. If we want to present ourselves well, we must pay close attention to the aesthetics and functionality of the furniture and we have to immediately convey a feeling of luxury and elegance.
Depending on the style chosen, think about the position of the furnishing complements so that they are not an obstruction and they should be intelligently available depending on their use. For example, the counter must be easily accessible as soon as the guest enters the lobby, while the armchairs and sofas should create a separate and cosy environment.
Smania proposes sofas with soft shapes, suitable to a modern style like Ernest, reminiscent of classic furniture like Opium, or geometric like Miami 190, all of them customisable in their upholstery and details. There is also a vast choice of armchairs and ottomans, that run the gamut and include the more “romantic” forms of the classic chaise lounges. Don’t forget books and magazines to place on the low tables (here is the Smania range, which use marble, wood, ceramics or glass) to give the guests a possibility for entertainment and relaxation.
You can also insert accessories in hi-tech or steel materials such as paperweights or decorative objects. Perfect, for example, is the Anemone by Smania, a decorative object in glass that gives elegance and exclusivity to the space.
The suite, the heart of the hotel
Now let’s talk about the rooms, the beating heart of your hotel. In a luxury hotel it is actually more appropriate to talk about a “suite”, since whatever room the guest chooses, he or she expects to find it unique, comfortable and suited to his or her needs. For example, a true luxury hotel should be able to assign the requested room to each guest, with all the specifics of the case: pet friendly, suitable for people with disabilities, on the ground floor, with a sea or garden view, with king size bed or two single beds and so on.
For this environment, Smania offers a variety of solutions, from the beds to the bedside tables and lighting. Perfect for a truly luxurious suite is, for example, the Caesar Train 360 US Standard King Size, a double bed with a padded headboard, or for a more romantic style, the James bed. To give a unique touch to the room, insert a mirror cabinet: the elegant and luxurious Grace proposed by Smania. Choose warm but functional lighting with the classic Marcel chandelier or more modern lighting with Jersey. Complete the furnishings with bedside tables and chests of drawers for storing personal effects, and a mirror to give brightness to the room.
Refined bars and restaurants
In a luxury hotel, the restaurant and bar must be suitable for hosting a refined and demanding public who can savour good food and drink and entertain important guests at the same time: the spaces to be created will therefore be comfortable for moments of relaxation but more secluded for private meetings. The bar counter must be important and spacious, tidy and always clean. No to plexiglass, yes to tech materials or wood.
The tables must be well separated, with or without tablecloths, depending on the style, with steel cutlery and high quality furnishings. Discover the Dean table by Smania, perfect for a luxury restaurant in its unique style, and when accompanied by the Amal chair creates a truly surprising effect.The outdoors always in top form in winter and summer
Garden, patio, porch or pool come take a place of prominence once again when the summer comes. But this is true no longer just in summer, because with the advent of new technologies and new materials, the outdoors is now being enjoyed even in winter. To make it luxurious and comfortable at the same time, it is necessary to artfully design the spaces and carefully choose the furnishings, the combination of colours and the lighting, as well as having a clear understanding of our tastes (or those of the customer).
An elegant patio to welcome guests
The patio is an outdoor space generally located at the entrance or the back of the house and often connected to it by sliding glass or a door. Especially in summer, it becomes a nothing less than an extra room, where one can spend free time relaxing with family or friends. To furnish it with taste and make it luxurious, let’s start from a premise: knowing how much space we have available. Depending on this we will dedicate a more or less extensive area to relaxation, where we will place sofas, armchairs and low tables as well as an area for enjoying food and drink, with a dining table complete with chairs.
Smania offers many solutions suitable for furnishing the outdoors: ad hoc for the patio are the Algero coffee tables, elegant and resistant at the same time, the Caprera chairs and the Figi sofas. To make our time spent in the open air really relaxing, we add the Amalfi baldachin. We embellish the environment with a Politech Vase, such as the Cachepot 2 and we’ll make it bright thanks to the elegant outdoor lighting solutions proposed by the Smania brand.
A luxury garden for every event
If we are dealing with the furnishing of a garden or a very large space, it might be useful to place outdoor benches and lanterns along the side of walkways and in the most relaxing spots (such as a waterfall or a Zen garden). If our outdoor area includes a swimming pool, we can place sunbeds or canopies on the perimeter: Smania proposes various models, depending on the environment. Remember to follow the same style as the other areas: even if they are not visible from the living area, they must be absolutely in line with the overall style.
Enjoy the outdoors even in winter with the veranda
The veranda is an excellent solution that lets you enjoy the outdoors even in winter. With fixed or retractable walls, in glass or wood, the veranda must be designed and furnished so as to be welcoming in every season. For this reason, the furniture must be suitable for withstanding summer heat and bad weather, but it should also be appropriate for a closed room in winter. There are many styles for furnishing a luxury veranda, Smania proposes a wide range of customisable furniture including chairs, dining and counter top tables, sofas, armchairs and ottomans that can are perfect for both the outdoors in summer and the indoors during the winter months.All the Smania proposals for every room in the house
A luxury interior is distinguished by its details, as well as by the quality of its furnishings: the right colours and shades, the textures, the decorative objects and the paintings, the arrangement of the furnishings in the living space can make all the difference. But, although the aesthetics of a home’s furnishings and its luxury are aspects of great importance, the functionality of the home in general and of furniture in particular plays the decisive role: luxurious but also perfect for living in. Let’s take a look at Smania’s proposals for the home’s main environments.
Living room
The living room is by definition the home environment dedicated to the family’s daytime activities and can be a complement or substitute, in the most modern homes, for the sitting room, more specifically dedicated to welcoming guests. It is therefore the room that more than any other reflects and externalises the style of the home and it has to be furnished with care. For this area, Smania offers sofas, armchairs, ottomans and chaise lounges, cabinets and low tables. Discover, for example, the Efeso bar cabinet, in wood with black top in black marquinia marble, perfect with a Beverly style sofa and a floor lamp like Wi.
Bedrooms
Whether you choose an important bed like the Colorado Standard King Size, or the elegance of the Markus, the result will always be a refined and luxurious bedroom. If the ceiling is high you can play the card of the chandelier to illuminate the room, but the bedside lamps must diffuse a soft light: let’s make sure they are unique and particular to give a personal touch, using a lamp like Smania’s Biblo or Enya. We can add a screen and a vanity table to make the room a real jewel.
Studies
Imposing and elegant or minimal with geometric shapes and soft colours: the choice depends on the furnishing of the house and on personal taste, but the luxurious effect is assured if you choose the right furnishing components. For a study with a classic style we choose a solid wood desk like the Madison by Smania and a leather and steel chair like the Panama Low. A wall bookcase, again in wood, will give it the final touch. The darker the wood, the more impressive the effect will be. An abundance of books and a table calendar will give it the final touch.
For a modern style study, instead, we opt for a lighter bookcase and a desk with a slim support structure and squared shapes: perfect are the Jamal or the Manhattan. To accessorise the room we will choose objects with modern design, decorative objects in steel (discover those proposed by Smania) and we position the books symmetrically, not filling every shelf to capacity.
Kitchen
The kitchen environment is the one that most of all must reflect the home’s luxury while being at the same time functional. How to get this result? Certainly by choosing custom-made handcrafted furniture, realised with high quality materials, and equipping the kitchen with ultra-modern technologies and paying great attention to design and functional elements as well as those that are purely decorative.
Bathroom
The bathroom is the area of the house that should absolutely not be underestimated. Almost an actual Spa, in luxury homes it takes on fundamental importance. A hot tub and an emotional shower, a large sink and, obviously, the latest generation toilet and bidet cannot be missing. Everything has to be studied up to the smallest detail: add some plants and flowers to give colour, towels that are always coordinated and a piece of furniture to store the toiletries and personal effects. For a touch of glamour discover Smania’s vanity tables: perfect for a truly luxurious bathroom!
The plus of Smania MyMood
Smania has invented a philosophy behind the creation and choice of every piece of its furniture: with Smania MyMood, customising a luxury piece of furniture is extremely easy. In fact, Smania allows you to choose your favourite furnishing complement, among those proposed in this article and many others, and then you can customise it thanks to an infinite number of details and materials. You can decide on the fabric of a sofa or have it upholstered in leather, choose the type of wood for a table or the ceramic for a decorative object.
The magic of the night: how to sleep like a king
Comfort, relaxation and wellbeing are what we want at the end of the day. Our bed is the place we turn to when we want to satisfy these cravings. Our bodies are recharged, our minds are renewed and our creativity runs wild in fantastical dreams. Luxury beds can also be a place of refuge where we can write, read and tell our partners about our most memorable moments. We need space for all of this, of course, which is where king-sized beds come in – regal not just in size, but in finish and detailing too.
They’ve been around since the 1500s, when noblemen would use them to rest in their quarters after lavish banquets. King-sized beds are still very much in demand among those looking for comfort and elegance – they are now stylish pieces perfect for taking a luxury bedroom to the next level. While double beds are 2 metres by just over 1.6 metres, a king-sized bed is considerably wider, ranging from between 1.8 to 2 metres. The result is a majestic, imposing bed that demands a bedroom that is luxurious, spacious, bright… and regal.
Luxury beds are the kings of the bedroom, inviting us to put our thoughts to one side between dusk and dawn. Indeed, when immersed in a relaxing environment, it’s easy to let yourself be seduced by the timeless charm of a bed made up of fluid, modern lines. This sense of balance is at the very heart of PARIS, designed and manufactured by the Smania Design Department. The first Smania model to feature capitonné padding, this luxury bed is entirely handmade according to traditions dating back to the 1800s. Available in powder-coloured Nabuk leather or, for a bolder look, shiny black Ancestor, PARIS features a stunning headboard festooned with soft diamond shaping. Another of the pieces to play a stand-out role at the Milan Furniture Fair was GRAND SOHO, designed by world-famous architect Massimo Iosa Ghini, who is renowned for combining comfort and elegance with the finest materials. This luxury double bed is designed to perfectly complement the aesthetics of your home, with dark brown Cayman leather or rope-coloured Puccini fabric to choose from.
Anybody who likes to think big will be sure to find inspiration in Smania’s kaleidoscopic portfolio of collections, which include plenty of king-sized beds. The Caesar Train line features two king-sized models which provide the perfect place for you to surrender to magical imaginary adventures. Complete with a storage chest and frame available in four types of metal (steel, burnished, nickel and black nickel), the spacious CAESAR TRAIN 215 guarantees relaxation and comfort. This king-sized bed is available in a range of different materials, from Africa leather to the Sevilla fabric, just as the colour of the metal frame around the headboard can be adjusted to suit your taste. The clean lines of the padding add to the delicate yet characterful feel of this piece, which is sure to be a hit with anyone who chooses it.
Your luxury bed awaits: it’s finally time to close those eyes and enjoy being the king of your dreams!
Around the world in the pursuit of Smania furnishings
Moscow, Shanghai, Milan: these three metropolis are not just in different corners of the world; they are also worlds apart in terms of mentality and culture. And yet, they share a strong attraction for all that is beautiful. Here, lovers of high class design and furnishings will be able to visit the Shanghai furniture fair and Russia’s’ Crocus from the coming Autumn until spring 2019.
Smania stars at these events with a charming offering that best expresses its natural affinity for exclusive, refined design. An icon of all-Italian luxury, Smania has always believed that the secret to Italy’s artistic success is its people’s ability to generate intuitive ideas. Even more than quality materials and craftsmanship or a meticulous attention to detail, it is Italy’s eye for beauty that really sets it apart. An approach to life shared by the luxury of a Renaissance residence, the poetical aesthetics of a film by Sorrentino, and the bouquet of a Chianti wine. And of course, the unparalleled creativity of Smania’s offering to the world.
Th forthcoming shows, first in Shanghai, then in Moscow and finally in Milan, offer the opportunity not only to display products, but also to inspire visitors. In every city, Smania recreates a pulsating space that welcomes and engages those who cross its threshold.
At Moscow’s Crocus, held from 10 to 13 October (Hall 08 D15), the Italian company will exhibit a selection of its high class furnishings in spaces that recreate and evoke the sophisticated mood of a luxurious office starring a LOCK in grey leather upholstery, enhanced by the colour contrast of the compartment in deep grained rosewood. In another part of the stand, featuring a sleeping area marked by great comfort and elegance, the sumptuously enveloping GRAND SOHO bed is framed by the aesthetic and material balance of the GALLIANO console table, which in turn is counterbalanced, on the opposite wall, by the austere yet vibrant personality of the CONTINENTAL chest of drawers in wenge and black steel.
The sleeping area will also be showcased in November at the Salone del Mobile held in Shanghai (Hall West WS31 No. 1 ,Second Floor), where visitors will be won over by the majestic delicacy of the paddings of the PARIS and CAESAR beds. Ample space will also be dedicated to the living area, with rosewood and burnished steel blending together for the large PAUL table, which dominates the room while maintaining an intrinsic lightness of design. Particularly striking is the top in Calacatta marble of the sinuously round DEAN table, which combines three different materials – marble, steel and leather – to grant a unique touch to any room.
Finally, at the 2019 Salone del Mobile in Milan, Smania will present a striking new project designed to enrich a new area of the house with the company’s high class furnishings.
