What customers say
The Moooi SMOKE Armchair by Maarten Baas elicits an exceptionally strong and often passionate response from consumers, positioning it firmly as a piece of functional art rather than mere furniture. Customer sentiment is overwhelmingly positive regarding its conceptual brilliance and unique aesthetic. Reviewers frequently describe the chair as a "masterpiece" and an immediate conversation starter, praising the daring technique of charring the wood to achieve its distinctive, textured finish. This process ensures that each chair possesses a unique character, which is highly valued by design aficionados. The craftsmanship underlying the structure is consistently rated as excellent, reflecting Moooi's commitment to high-quality construction, even when the surface treatment is intentionally raw. Customers appreciate the chair's ability to anchor a room and provide a powerful visual statement. However, the primary point of friction, as expected for such a high-design item, is the price point. While customers who purchase the chair understand they are investing in a collectible design piece, the value-for-money score is tempered by the chair's premium cost. Furthermore, while the chair is generally considered comfortable enough for occasional use, comfort is clearly secondary to the artistic statement, a factor noted by some users. Overall, the SMOKE Armchair successfully targets and delights a niche market seeking avant-garde design and unparalleled uniqueness, resulting in very high satisfaction scores among its dedicated owners.
