Bernhardt Design had the honor of creating a limited edition work
for an auction on behalf of the MacDella Cooper Foundation. The
foundation benefits war displaced youths, as was Ms.
MacDella Cooper. Chaired by Christie’s, auctions in New York
City and San Francisco were held in conjunction with Surface
Magazine’s 10th anniversary of their Avant Guardian competition
supporting up-and-coming photographers.
The contribution of Bernhardt Design was the Collector’s Edition, consisting of a custom-designed dining table and twelve
accompanying Whisper chairs. The one-of-a-kind table and Whisper chairs were designed by Valencia-based design
collective CuldeSac, which recently won the coveted Premio Compaso D’Oro award.
The fabric for the Whisper chairs
incorporated a screen print from
the portfolio of the 2001 Avant
Guardian winner Stephen Lee.
Taking over 500 hours to
complete, the custom chairs
were finished in hand-rubbed,
highly-polished black lacquer.
