Smilow® Furniture Featured on Remodelista
We're so happy to be featured next to four other family-owned mid-century design companies on Remodelista in Second Coming: 5 Family-Owned Midcentury Design Companies, Revived. Judy Smilow reintroduced her father Mel’s furniture line four years ago and hopes to eventually offer Smilow options for every room. Judy herself grew up in a glass house in Usonia, the Frank Lloyd Wright cooperative in Mount Pleasant, New York, fully furnished by Mel. She studied art at Parsons and went on to work as a graphic designer for MoMA and to create her own glassware, and home furnishing designs. Along the way, she came across her late father’s original drawings and was “struck by how the furniture and aesthetic had really stood the test of time.” She’s been rebuilding the family legacy ever since.
