Bernhardt Design introduces the Mix grouping of tables by Phat Design founders Christian Cowper and Claudia Surrage, both just 22 years old. “Jerry asked us to explore every type of occasional table we could imagine, which turned into a sketchbook of over 50 ideas, and from those we selected our seven favorites,” Cowper recalls of early discussions with Bernhardt president and creative director Jerry Helling. Materials range from brass, stainless steel, and graphite to quartz and wood, and inspiration stems from such disparate entities as the Rotring 600 mechanical pencil, UFOs, and industrial cooling towers. Phat’s own existing Gang bench morphed into bevel-legged tripod Everly, while elliptical elements inform the base of Marlowe. With 121 variations of the seven models, there is truly something for everyone and everywhere.
