Design Philosophy
Working with mixed materials is an integral part of the Bernhardt design story. From neo-traditional to modern minimalist, the Bernhardt aesthetic begins with a palette of raw materials. Textures contrast and complement each other to create a look that is rich and layered. Luminous materials such as capiz shell or bone inlay add depth and dimension. Traditional forms take on a fresh, modern appeal with pared down silhouettes in unexpected materials. Bernhardt’s mastery of metals such as, cast aluminum and German silver, result in spectacular statement pieces. They are often handmade with meticulous techniques.
Bernhardt strives to create designs that are aspirational with a sense of place, constantly searching for inspiration in global culture, experiences, destinations, and travel. It is this drive for inspiration that gives Bernhardt pieces a distinct presence and an international feel. Thoughtful details and an elevated aesthetic shape designs with a modern awareness and livable luxury. The look is sophisticated, but effortless, building on the idea that great design tells a story.
