The designers and architects Daniel and Michel Bismut design a luxurious limited edition of furniture, "Smiley® by Bismut". As Daniel Bismut explains, "we wanted to design high-end furniture in the best French handcraft tradition, both beautiful and functional, but that doesn't take itself too seriously."

These couture pieces are true collectibles, and stunning proof that a smile is contagious. You can't look at Bismut's happy-faced tables or mirrors without feeling uplifted. And yet, in terms of craftsmanship, they are manufactured with infinite care, every piece hand-fashioned by the most exceptional artisans.

Two coffee table models will bring whimsy to even the most sophisticated settings. The delightful "Slizzz" looks ready to hit the slopes. A Smiley® face balanced on a pair of skis in parallel or snowplow position, it is bursting with the joy of freedom that comes from fresh powder on a sunny winter day. Crafted from polished stainless steel, the table's top is tinted in bright yellow or "Juicy orange". The mouth and eyes are made of artisanal glass, while the upturned ski tips are in chestnut.

The second coffee table is based on Bismut's "Drum" collection, a circular top embraced by an elegant metal cuff-and recently selected to grace a salon of the elysée Palace. For the Smiley® collaboration, Bismut presents the table in polished stainless steel, tinted with a gradient of brilliant colour. The top beams with a smiling mouth and eyes in colourful glass (a yellow glass top is another option).

Also in this collection are two mirrors. The "Smiley® Bubbles" has a worn wooden shelf and small Smiley® floating over a tinted polished plate. The barber's polished bubble mirror comes attached with a small gold Smiley® face. A phrase written in red, like a lipstick message on a mirror, says "Take the time to smile".
