Bernhardt Furniture

About Bernhardt Furniture

Founded in Lenoir, North Carolina in 1889 by John Mathias Bernhardt, the Bernhardt Furniture Company is one of the largest family-owned furniture manufacturers in the United States. Now in its fourth generation of family leadership, Bernhardt combines over a century of traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design thinking. The brand encompasses Bernhardt Interiors (a high-design, eclectic line), Bernhardt Exteriors (outdoor), Bernhardt Living (a relaxed residential range), and Bernhardt Workspace (office furniture). Every collection shares a design DNA: elevated materials, thoughtful proportions, and pieces that age well.

• ● Top-grain leather: full and semi-aniline leathers with natural character and long life

• ● Performance fabrics: stain-resistant upholstery suitable for active households

• ● Natural stone and marble: used for tabletops, bases, and accent surfaces

• ● Powder-coated metals and stainless steel: used in both indoor and outdoor applications

• ● All-weather wicker and teak: Bernhardt Exteriors-specific materials built for outdoor durability

Style Range and Who It Is For

Bernhardt furniture is not one-dimensional. Bernhardt Interiors leans toward an eclectic, high-design aesthetic, combining unexpected materials like capiz shell, hammered steel, and acrylic with upholstered forms. The casegoods line takes a more classic, transitional approach: clean lines, rich finishes, enduring proportions. Together they serve homeowners who want furniture that reads as thoughtfully designed and well-made, whether the overall interior is contemporary, transitional, or quietly traditional. Interior designers frequently specify Bernhardt for its range of custom finishes and upholstery options, which allow cohesive specification across multiple rooms.
