The Beauty of Contrast

Written by Bernhardt | Jan 15, 2026

 

 

Soft, inviting textiles are paired with stone, concrete and metal, highlighting the beauty of contrast between comfort and structure. Plush upholstery brings warmth and ease, while hard surfaces add strength and permanence. This balance of soft and solid materials is a signature of Bernhardt, shaping designs that feel refined, thoughtful and enduring. Each piece invites a tactile experience—smooth cool surfaces against soft welcoming textiles.

 

 

 

Comfort in Contrast

The Felix Fabric Sofa and Thompson Cocktail Table express the art of contrast and comfort—where rich velvet upholstery and supple, feather-filled cushions meet the refined strength of graphite-finished metal. Sink-in softness is grounded by sleek industrial structure, creating a deliberate tension between form and feel. Together, they strike a harmonious balance of elegance, ease and quiet sophistication.

Elemental Elegance

The Tildon Cocktail Table strikes a sophisticated balance between strength and softness, featuring panels of smoky quartz encased in sleek metal and framed in a warm Aged Brass finish. The coordinating Tildon Side Table carries the same organic materials in a square form, resting on a sculptural plinth base that elevates the design and enhances its subtle glam appeal.

Sculpted in Shearling

With its curved back seemingly suspended above a deep, inviting seat, the Paley Swivel Chair brings a sense of sculptural softness to the room. Wrapped in luxurious real shearling, the design is accented by a silver-toned, textured metal panel——an element that echoes the quiet strength of stone. Paired with stone-topped tables or mineral-inspired finishes, Paley creates a perfectly balanced contrast of texture and tone.

Graceful lines and luminous materials meet in a pairing that feels both sculptural and serene. The Lumen Fabric Sofa introduces a soft bouclé upholstery, rich in texture and visual depth, with gentle curves and refined tailoring that invite comfort. In contrast, the Shimla Cocktail Table offers a cool counterpoint with cut white agate and a silvery metal base. Together, they strike a thoughtful balance of warmth and clarity, elegance and edge.

Stone and Structure

The luminous beauty of stone and textural wood are beautifully balanced in the Sereno Entertainment Credenza. Crafted in walnut with a warm Lutra finish, the top and sides create a rich, inviting foundation. Four doors feature striking silver travertine fronts that add depth and a subtle, refined sheen. Grounded by sculptural cast resin legs with a faux stone texture, this modern organic design feels both elevated and naturally elegant—perfect for anchoring a sophisticated living space.
