ABOUT THE HOSTS

Humanscale believes that the best designs are based on purpose and function. Simplicity and ease of use are at the heart of functionality; a product's form should flow from its function, resulting in products that will feel and look as current and relevant in 20 years as they do today. Humanscale believes everything the company creates—from its factories to its products—must be self-sustaining and make a positive contribution. 

Bernhardt Design was founded in 1980 by the 128-year-old Bernhardt Furniture Company and continues to be a leader and innovator in furniture design and production. During the past 15 years, President Jerry Helling has assembled an extraordinary creative team that has positioned Bernhardt Design as one of the premier international design companies with a focus on supporting future generations of designers.

The event will be held in Bernhardt Design’s flagship NY showroom at 136 Madison Avenue. Consisting of white monochromatic tones with natural light throughout the perimeter, the expansive 20,000 sqft. space provides a blank canvas to a focus on the furniture displayed in a gallery setting.
