Known for his inventive style of mixing Old World classicism with very contemporary settings, Smith's collections emphasize the dichotomy of town and country living, and how each can achieve a relaxed yet polished look. Smith is interested in combining periods, styles and colors in his decorating. His style can be called a blend of European tradition and American modernism. The result is a comfortable elegance, a non-theatrical look that is ultimately very understated in its presentation.
