Bernhardt celebrated spring and its newest designs for outdoor living at the High Point Market with 600 attendees enjoying outdoor-inspired edibles, lemon drop cocktails and music by DJ RaQuest. Co-hosted by Luxe Interiors + Design, the event was also a chance for interior designers to meet Jill Cohen, the new editor-in-chief of Luxe.
“We were thrilled to partner with Luxe for this incredible event,” said Alex Bernhardt Jr., president and CEO of Bernhardt. “It was a special night because we were also able to welcome Jill to High Point and to her new role at Luxe. We’re excited to see what she has in store for the publication.”
Bernhardt also held several drawings for incredible warm-weather prizes. Victoria Sandberg with Toni Sims Design Studio in Winter Garden, FL, won a trip for two to Todos Santos on the Pacific coast of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula. Judith Seeherman, mother of Kimberly Seeherman, principal with Hudson & Nine in NYC, won a beautiful setting of Bernhardt Exteriors furnishings, and Yianni Kefalianos from Yanni Custom Home Furniture & Design in Boardman, OH, was gifted a set of outdoor speakers.
