Studio, a metal frame stacking chair, explores the interaction between wood and steel. Drawing inspiration from the simple elegance of traditional hand tools, the wood arm is fitted into the tapered metal front leg as in the handle of the chisel or rake. The subtle appropriateness of form in hand tools is further replicated in the distribution of materials; metal where strength and durability. is required, wood/upholstery where warm tactile qualities are appreciated. The clean simple lines of the steel frame contrast with the sculptural grace of the arms and comfortable contours of the black rail, demonstrating Bernhardt's outstanding craftsmanship in wood. Available in brushed nickel or black metal, the Studio Chair may be specified in all standard Bernhardt textile and finishes.
