Our Story

Founded by designer Elaine Smith, the brand was born from a singular idea — that luxury should be both livable and lasting. What began as a revolution in outdoor design has evolved into a collection that effortlessly bridges the worlds of interior sophistication and outdoor performance.

Where Art Meets Endurance

At ELAINE SMITH®, every pillow begins with a vision: to elevate everyday spaces through beauty, comfort, and craftsmanship.

Each piece is conceived in-house and meticulously handcrafted in the USA, using the finest performance textiles woven by the world’s leading mills. The result is a collection that redefines versatility — soft enough for the living room, resilient enough for the terrace, and refined enough for the world’s most beautiful spaces.

A Designer’s Vision

Elaine Smith takes her inspiration from fashion and the runways of shows around the world — a foundation that continues to shape the brand’s couture approach to home design. A lover of art, travel, and the natural world, Elaine transforms high-custom fashion textiles into timeless, tactile pieces that invite both comfort and conversation.

Her belief is simple yet powerful: true luxury is meant to be lived with.

Every design bears her signature blend of refinement and ease — a quiet confidence that makes a space feel both curated and comfortable.

“I started this brand because I wanted to create something lasting — pieces that were as beautiful as they were livable. I’ve always believed design should invite you in, not ask you to be careful.”

— Elaine Smith

Crafted in the USA

Behind every pillow lies the work of skilled artisans — hand cutting, sewing, embroidering and finishing each piece by hand in our atelier. This commitment to craftsmanship ensures exceptional quality, consistency, and care in every detail.

By keeping production close to home, we not only support American artisanship but also maintain the integrity and responsiveness our trade partners rely on — from custom capabilities to quick-ship collections.

The Art of Living Beautifully

ELAINE SMITH® continues to redefine what it means to live beautifully — through objects made to be touched, used, and loved.

Because true luxury doesn’t just sit pretty — it lives with you.
