Bernhardt to show latest Martha Stewart line

Has Biedermeier, Art Deco influences

Tom Russell -- Furniture Today, October 8, 2008

HIGH POINT — Bernhardt's latest Martha Stewart Furniture collection, to be unveiled at market here this month, takes its inspiration from Biedermeier and Art Deco.

The Rosebridge collection includes 30 pieces of bedroom, dining room and occasional. It also has six pieces of upholstery in 10 new fabric options.

 The Sunburst dining table is part of the new Martha Stewart Rosebridge collection by Bernhardt. Made with cathedral walnut veneers and solid wood-turned posts, it has a 60-inch top that extends to 84 inches with a single leaf.The Sunburst dining table is part of the new Martha Stewart Rosebridge collection by Bernhardt. Made with cathedral walnut veneers and solid wood-turned posts, it has a 60-inch top that extends to 84 inches with a single leaf.

In the wood line, there are two bedrooms, two dining rooms, two occasional groups and four accent pieces. Some items are available in three new wood finishes and one new metal finish.

Rosebridge joins six existing Martha Stewart collections - Lily Pond, Skylands, Turkey Hill, Opal Point, Katonah and North River.

It also continues Bernhardt's effort begun last April to introduce a new Martha Stewart collection every six months instead of once a year.

Stylistically, the Art Deco and Biedermeier influences mark a new direction for the Stewart line. Various wood pieces have walnut and rosewood veneers that flow down drawer fronts in a waterfall effect. Others have a checkerboard pattern of mismatched burl.

Signature pieces include:

• A tall dresser whose Art Deco shape gives it a slightly recessed base and top. The drawer faces have swirling burl walnut panels and columns of narrow scoring.

• The Bellcourt Sunburst dining table, which features cathedral walnut veneers and a framed walnut burl border. The four-pillar pedestal base has solid wood turned posts and shaped bun feet. It also has a 60-inch top and extends to 84 inches with a single leaf.

• The Rosebridge brass console table has a rosewood veneer top and shelf and shaped edges. Its metal base has semicircular stretchers.

Some pieces have tumbled brass and heirloom nickel hardware.

Along with Rosebridge catalogs for wood and upholstery, the collection offers retailer support in the form of a consumer brochure and other point of purchase materials, upholstery swatches and a dealer Web site that lets retailers check inventory, place orders and review order status.
