Designed by Mark Goetz for Bernhardt Design, the “Laurel” bench is a masterclass in restrained modernism—where proportion, material, and line do all the talking. This is not just seating; it’s an architectural object.
The defining feature is the sculptural walnut base: broad, tapering supports with a subtle cantilever effect that give the bench a grounded yet floating presence. The geometry is clean but not cold—softened by the warm tone of the wood and the gentle curvature at the edges.
Above, a generously scaled upholstered cushion—done in a creamy, neutral leather or high-grade vinyl—adds contrast and comfort. The tailored panel stitching reinforces the disciplined design language while making it highly usable in real interiors.
This piece lives comfortably in multiple design contexts:
End-of-bed bench in a refined primary suite
Entry statement piece
Gallery-style seating in a modern living space
Ideal for staged interiors and editorial photo shoots (this piece photographs extremely well—clean lines, tonal contrast, and strong silhouette)
Goetz’s work for Bernhardt Design sits squarely in the lineage of American contract modern—built to last, visually enduring, and increasingly appreciated by designers who want substance over trend.
