Before Elaine Smith, al fresco entertaining was a distinctly less beautiful and desirable experience. Outdoor furnishings and accessories featured fabrics that were weather-proof, but never as soft and stylish. But then in 2003, the successful interior and home accessory designer discovered textiles as lush as they were tough. Their fine fibers could withstand Mother Nature and human nature, resisting sun, rain, and stains.Working with these fabrics and inspired by her dual loves of exotic locales and natural wonders, Elaine created what is the world’s first and only line of outdoor luxury pillows. Rich in color, lavish in detail, and of course, impervious to the elements, Elaine’s first outdoor collections were such a resounding success that she decided to develop her company's efforts into becoming the leader in this exciting category.Currently, Elaine Smith Pillows are available Nationwide to the trade and can be found at Tradeshows in Chicago, Dallas, and Atlanta. Discerning consumers can find them at Neiman Marcus, Gump's, Frontgate, Grandin Road, and other finer furnishings, accessory, and gift stores around the country. A favorite of interior designers and the hospitality industry, the pillows currently add the finishing touches to patio and deck settings at the St. Regis, Ritz Carlton, and several boutique properties in the U.S.
