(smow)Repository: Open for business

smow prides itself on only dealing in new, officially licensed products from internationally renowned producers such as Vitra, Kartell, USM Haller and Moormann, amongst others. As an internationally active retailer, smow, however, also has a regular supply of shop display items and exhibition articles which cannot be sold as “new”:  For just as a car that has travelled more than 40 kilometres can’t be sold as new, so a chair that has been sat on more the twice also can’t be sold as new.

And throwing them away, naturally, doesn’t come into question.

And so today we have officially opened our (smow)Repository. In the Respository we offer these former display items as “one-offs” at a special price. All items in the (smow)Repository are in first-class condition, are only available in the colors and finishes described and are strictly on a first-come-first-serve-basis. All articles are “new ” in that they have not been previously sold to customers, but as former display items from our (smow)rooms and at exhibitions cannot, as said, be sold as new.

Which could be to your advantage.

And should you fail to find what you are looking for, simply check back later. The selection and offers in the (smow)Repository will be regularly updated and refreshed as new items become available.
