About Us
SMP = SPACE M PROJECTS (Our company name)
SMP = STYLE MEETS PEOPLE (Our retail store)
We started our business in New York City, the place where different cultures co-exist, and open-mindedness and diversity are celebrated. Our working relationship with artists, designers, artisans, and other creatives, is always fresh and stimulating. Their products and creations reflect their lifestyles and timeliness.
Since our founding, we’ve consistently proposed lifestyle choices. We operated as buyers of clothing, accessories, and interior accessories for the Japanese market, and we worked in licensing and exporting/importing business.
Starting in 1999, we developed our original bath and home fragrance brand SMP. We also introduced both Japanese and U.S. products and engaged in import/export operations participating at principle U.S. trade fairs.
Through these experiences, we have had the opportunity to offer service unique to SMP’s artistic sense and viewpoint to Japanese, U.S., and European companies in ordering, merchandising, and product-planning-and-development consulting.
Starting in 2007, we entered a retail business with STYLE MEETS PEOPLE. With the theme “High-Quality Leisure Time,” our retail brand introduces consumers through coordination and styling to SMP original bath and home fragrances, furniture, and interior accessories, tableware, clothing, and other accessories, all with careful attention to materials, quality, and design. We also host events that featured approachable art for personal space and with textile design evoking seasonal colors.
SMP will continue to provide product design, sales, and consulting services with our goal: communication with those who resonate and share our sense of style.
