The Arms Lounger was inspired by watching people relaxing on the beach. The angled back legs relate to a human form reminiscent of a person sitting on the ground leaning back with their weight on their arms. The mood at the beach is energetic yet relaxed and social and the form of the Arms Lounger reflects those characteristics. The bent legs and upright back creates a chair that fits in smaller spaces while the upright position promotes interaction with others. The use of powder coated aluminum sheet metal and teak provide ample protection to the elements in an outdoor environment.
Created by Cameron Smith
Honored with the A' Design Award.
Cameron Smith has a passion for design and approaches everything he does as a design challenge. With design training from Stanford University’s renowned design program, he’s built a successful design career founding and running a product development consulting firm. With 30 years of design experience, he has been honored with international awards for furniture, lighting and product designs. His background in mechanical engineering and industrial design helped shape his design philosophy which centers around exploring design and the interaction between people and the products they use in both technical and emotional ways. He approaches his business career in much the same way he does design and is always looking for new and innovative ways to challenge himself to build something new. As an entrepreneur he built and started a Polo club that produces a local, annual lifestyle magazine and hosts a summer polo party sponsored by Rolls-Roycethat has grown to over 1,000 guests. Cameron has also ventured into real estate with a desire to renovate historic buildings and bring them back to vibrant parts of the community. Although his business ventures are varied, Cameron maintains his core love of design through all his ventures.. Cameron has a long history and love for furniture design. Through design school he gravitated toward furniture and more environmental designs over electronics. His master’s thesis at Stanford University centered around cordless environments and manifested itself in a unique sculptural desk which he continues to use to this day. By starting Furniture Smith, Cameron created an avenue to re-engage in the design process and create truly novel designs that spawn from inspiration and raise the standards and consumer expectations for everyday products. His drive to explore form and function by merging art and engineering to create unique pieces is rare in a business environment measured by economic success. With his keen eye for detail, he emulates the human body as an innovative machine and as an art form. Each piece is beautifully crafted and thought out with parts that are as functional as they are elegant.

Design Business Directory was founded on the principle that true design excellence cannot be measured by popularity alone. Instead, we believe that the most meaningful indicator of skill, creativity, and professionalism is official recognition by respected international juries who follow transparent, pre-established voting criteria. When a designer, architect, or creative agency enters a rigorous peer review process, one that evaluates submissions against clear quality benchmarks, ethical standards, and innovation requirements, it ensures that any accolades they receive are both credible and deserved and are meritocratic.
Peer-reviewed awards, such as the prestigious A’ Design Award, exist to showcase the very best in design and innovation. The A’ Design Award is judged by a balanced panel of experienced academics, influential press members, and established professionals, all of whom apply a thoroughly documented scoring system. Through this structured method of evaluation, only truly exceptional projects are recognized. This is precisely the level of excellence that Design Business Directory aims to highlight: forward-thinking professionals who have demonstrated mastery in their field according to objective, globally respected criteria.
Because we are committed to presenting only the cream of the crop in design, Design Business Directory accepts listings exclusively from those who have proven themselves in such distinguished competitions. By requiring at least one peer-reviewed award—namely, the A’ Design Award—as a prerequisite for inclusion, we maintain the authenticity and overall quality of the directory. Consequently, to be listed on Design Business Directory, you must have already won the A’ Design Award. This ensures every individual and studio showcased here operates at the highest tier of professional accomplishment, innovation, and credibility.
