Sir Paul Smith works in collaboration with Artek to present the self-explanatory Artek Reimagined by Paul Smith collection. Smith is known for his classic tailoring work and the iconic 40-color Signature Strip accent. Now, the two unveil a capsule of three products including the Stool 60, Screen 100, and Coat Rack 109 that has been taken in and remixed from his perspective.
Starting with the Stool 60 -- it was originally designed in 1933 with a focus on its premium Finnish birch build and stackable shape. It is now adorned with a colorful accent with a cobalt blue and four-color stains. Screen 100 originally crafted in 1936 with a single tonal stain is now in five different hues. Finally, the new Coat Rack 108 comprised five stain colors.
