Our Story: Global Design with a Syracuse Soul

The Destination for Authentic Global Design

Located at 3184 Erie Blvd E in DeWitt, Smith Contemporary Furniture is more than a showroom; it is a curated gallery of international craftsmanship. As direct importers, we bridge the gap between the world’s finest design houses and our Central New York community.

Our collection features hand-selected pieces from Scandinavia, Italy, Germany, and France, alongside the best USA-made furniture and accessories. Every item we carry combines beautiful design with the quality craftsmanship required to create authentic, unique spaces you simply won’t find anywhere else.

Exclusive Brands & Premium Collections

We take pride in providing access to premier international brands that are otherwise unavailable in the region. We are the only dealer in the area to carry:

• Skovby: Legendary Danish functionalism and precision woodwork.

• Svago: The pinnacle of zero-gravity luxury and wellness seating.

We also offer the largest local selection of Flexlux, BDI, and Fjords, as well as hard-to-find brands like IMG Norway, Copeland Furniture & Luonto. Whether you seek Classic Euro Style, Mid-Century Modern, or Scandinavian Furniture, our pieces are chosen to be timeless.

A Legacy of Connection: Our "Why"

My commitment to this community didn't start at the showroom door. Many of you know me from my years as Vice President at Galaxy Communications, where I spent over a decade helping local businesses grow within the CNY market.

Those years taught me a vital lesson: Syracuse isn’t just a place to do business; it’s a network of families and entrepreneurs who show up for one another. That’s why our "why" goes beyond furniture. We view our work as an extension of the local fabric, and we give back to the community that has given us so much:

• Empowering the Next Generation: We actively mentor marketing talent from the Whitman School at Syracuse University to keep local expertise and innovation right here in our city.

• Championing Inclusion: We are proud supporters of the Special Olympics, an organization that embodies the "Sisu" spirit of bravery and perseverance.

• Building Healthier Futures: Through our partnership with Helio Health, we remain dedicated to the wellness and recovery of our community members.

A Human Soul in an Evolving Industry

While the industry evolves and automation grows, the soul of Smith Contemporary remains human. Andrea Romeo and Kathy Lewis are the heart and soul of everything we do. Their deep expertise in design, buying, shipping, and staging brings a level of care and vision that simply cannot be compared—and can never be replaced by AI.

We aren’t just a furniture showroom; we are part of the CNY story. Whether we are helping homeowners, renters, or local businesses find the perfect pieces to create a sanctuary, we are here to stay. We believe in Sisu—the Finnish concept of grit, tenacity, and beauty that lasts a lifetime.
