Founded in Paris by Aleksandra Smetanina, SM Bureau is an interior studio and gallery positioned at the convergence of architecture, collectible design, and contemporary art. The practice privileges works characterized by material intelligence and formal discipline: objects that retain the indexical mark of their fabrication.

Guided by an ethic of sustainability and artisanal savoir-faire, SM Bureau collaborates with artists and makers who share a commitment to authenticity. The work upholds a restrained conception of beauty: one rooted in natural patina, in forms that age with integrity, and in spaces composed to breathe.
