為什麼談中西方文化的對話？一個來自台灣，一個來自丹麥。

smith＋hsu 的名字，本身就是一場東西方的相遇。smith 代表西方，hsu 則來自台灣；中間的「+」，象徵兩種文化的連結。

品牌創立過程中，James Hsu 遇見來自丹麥的 Carsten Jørgensen，兩個不同文化背景的人，因茶、設計與生活美學產生交集。James 帶來台灣的茶文化與生活經驗，Carsten 則帶來歐洲的設計視角。他們沒有試圖讓一種文化取代另一種，而是思考如何讓東西方在同一個空間裡相遇，創造屬於當代的新樣貌。這也成為 smith+hsu 持續探索的核心。

讓傳統與當代繼續相遇

赤峰街是一個新舊並存的地方。老街屋、傳統產業與日常生活，和咖啡、設計、選物等新的文化樣貌並肩存在；歷史沒有消失，而是在當代生活裡持續被重新理解。這樣的街區，與 smith＋hsu 一直探索的事情不謀而合——如何讓傳統進入今天？一杯有著悠久文化的茶，如何成為現代生活的一部分？東方文化又如何與西方設計產生新的可能？因此，來到中山赤峰街，不只是選擇一個店址，更像是讓品牌原本的精神自然延伸。在歷史與當代交會的地方，讓這場關於茶、文化與生活的對話繼續發生。
