George Smith takes on James Bond

James Bond's sets are as legendary as his signatures style, daring gadgets and martini’s – shaken not stirred of course! So from where does the Head of MI6, one of the world’s strongest intelligence forces, make decisions? A George Smith chair, of course. From sending Agent 007 out on perilous missions to putting plans in motion for counter-terrorist operations, M makes the call not just from her Seat of Power, but also a Seat of Elegance. Check out M’s study in the new James Bond film Skyfall, furnished with these George Smith chairs.

George Smith furniture has a distinguished history dating back to the early nineteenth century. The original designer made furniture in a wide, eclectic range of tastes based generally on the late neo-classical style, but also including neo-gothic style work and chinoiserie. George Smith craftsmen today continue the traditions of classic craftsmanship developed generations ago and build handmade furniture using only the finest natural raw materials, with many of the styles still based on the original designs.

James Bond also has a notable history. October 5th (Global James Bond Day) marked 50 years since the release of the first James Bond film. So this month, commemorate not only James Bond who is among the world’s greatest British heroes, but also George Smith, who is among the world’s greatest British furniture designers.

The name is Smith. George Smith.
