The Bright Young Classics: Arlington by Bernhardt
Arlington Round Dining Table
Appx retail $1699.
Arlington Media Armoire
Appx retail $2750.
Classic design has been undergoing a renaissance of late. Perhaps it’s time to take traditional to urban living quarters.
LENOIR, NC, October 1, 2007 – A new American style, Arlington by Bernhardt is composed of strong, graceful lines that will have a soothing effect on interiors. The look is grown up and young at the same time; furnishings are scaled to accommodate modestly sized urban interiors.
Arlington’s style is based on well thought out neo- classical design, reinterpreted with creative flair and stylishly adorned with unexpected elements.
“There is in Arlington a sense of familiar historical reference with a modern sensibility,” says Heather Eidenmiller, director of brand development. “Refined lines and the drama of contrasting dark and light will make these designs easy to look at and to live with for a long time.”
The 42-piece whole home collection is presented in quartered figured prima vera veneers with a charcoal-colored Dark Oyster finish. Accents include clear acrylic specialty pieces, bright nickel metal inlines, faceted nickel hardware and contrasting marble. Upholstered accents include alabaster white tufted dining chairs and black leather headboard panels.
As modern, by definition, accommodates not only style but also function, Arlington is outfitted for up-to-date interactions. A Writing Desk/Vanity, for example, features not only a traditional hinged top and interior sliding tray but also grommeted wiring holes that allow it to function as charging station for PDAs and cell phones.
SIGNATURE PIECES INCLUDE:
Arlington Round Dining Table 396-773 - A fresh breeze of fluidity. The sculptural, curved and tapering gunmetal frame will gently reflect natural or decorative lighting in a dining area.
