Born from the dialogue between architecture, art, and material, SM Bureau explores the emotional dimension of space — where form, texture, and light reveal a quiet strength. Founded in Paris by Aleksandra Smetanina, the studio and its gallery cultivate a sensitive approach to contemporary creation, guided by authenticity and craftsmanship.
At THEMA, SM Bureau presents a reflection on material as language — a space where the tactile and the poetic coexist. Each object, each line, tells of a gesture, a rhythm, a trace of human presence. The installation embodies the studio’s philosophy: creating environments and objects that breathe, that move, that reconnect us to what is essential.
Rooted in an ethic of sustainability and artisanal savoir-faire, SM Bureau positions itself as both creator and curator — bridging the worlds of interior architecture, collectible design, and contemporary art. Through collaborations with artists and craftsmen, SM Bureau continues to affirm that true beauty lies in sincerity — in materials that age with grace, and in spaces that whisper rather than shout.
