Looking for furniture that feels both substantial and utterly fresh? Step into the world of the Bernhardt Loggia Collection, where design transcends simple categorization.
The Style: Architectural Modern
The Loggia Collection embodies a sophisticated style best described as Architectural Modern. It is a masterful fusion where elements of classical architecture meet the clean lines and simplicity of a modern aesthetic.
Unlike stark minimalism, Loggia achieves its impact through thoughtfully rendered structure and texture. The collection’s signature lies in the clever interplay of light and shadow, giving each piece a sculptural quality.
Key Design Elements We Love:
- Rhythmic Fluting: Case goods (like the stunning entertainment credenza and dresser) feature beautiful, repeated vertical scalloping or fluting. This texture adds dimension and a subtle visual rhythm, recalling the pillars of classic buildings.
- Curved Forms: Look closely and you’ll find a fascinating mix of concave and convex shaping. This subtle contrast, from rounded table bases to sheltering chair backs, adds softness and depth to the bold, monolithic forms.
- The Aria Finish: The furniture is often rendered in a soft, wheat-hued finish called Aria on wire-brushed oak. This rustic texture keeps the collection grounded, balancing the inherent sophistication of the architectural shapes.
- Plinth Bases: Many pieces are supported by substantial plinth bases, which lend a solid, grounded feeling and a sense of enduring craftsmanship.
The result is a collection that is visually striking yet understated—it’s bold, balanced, and perfectly poised to elevate any contemporary home. Loggia isn't just furniture; it's art for your everyday living.
