Symmetrical organic lines with softened edges and curves give the Anne chair its distinct design and timeless aesthetic. Aptly named for Bernhardt Design founder Anne Harper Bernhardt, this chair is crafted from solid American walnut which gives each piece its own unique characteristics.
The rich finish is achieved with a hand-rubbed oil that highlights the beauty and grain of the natural wood
An upholstered leather seat,Scandinavian Elan leather in the color Scarlett, featuring a flange stitch detail balances the chair’s design, providing an inviting element of comfort.
When Bernhardt Design turned 125 nine years ago, the brand asked the three designers to come up with new designs for its range that "honour the company's heritage of fine wood-working and upholstery craftsmanship".
Each designer was asked to reinterpret a piece of furniture that typified American design for them.
British designer Ross Lovegrove modelled the first wooden seat he has created on a typical American courthouse chair.
These chairs were such a visible part of the American landscape because of their very powerful presence," said Lovegrove. "Using this historical reference, I wanted to create a chair that is contemporary and a reflection of my design vocabulary."
The chair's arms arc around the sitter to form a continuous curved backrest, while its legs splay outward towards the floor.
The design is named after Anne Harper Bernhardt – one of the company's founders – and is available in solid American walnut with a natural finish. The leather seat comes in a range of colours.
"As in all my work, the Anne chair is about sculpting a material: creating something that has a human dimension and looks interesting from any view," Lovegrove said. less
