Meet&CoHIGH POINT — A leading furniture brand is enhancing access for design professionals beyond market weeks.
Bernhardt, a heritage furniture and décor brand, has partnered with High Point by Design (HPxD), a nonprofit promoting High Point as a year-round design hub. The collaboration allows trade members—including designers, retailers, and educators—to schedule private appointments at Bernhardt’s expansive showroom outside of market dates. Company leaders describe the move as offering “unprecedented access and creative inspiration” between major industry events.

The 95,000-square-foot showroom, unveiled during April’s High Point Market, spans two floors and reflects Bernhardt’s focus on craftsmanship and immersive design. “Every detail, from the façade to each curated room, embodies our brand’s aesthetic and dedication to meaningful design,” said CEO Alex Bernhardt Jr. The space showcases collections in lifelike settings while encouraging visitor creativity.
HPxD appointments provide a focused environment to explore materials and offerings without market crowds. Bernhardt complements the experience with tools like real-time inventory tracking, fabric swatches, and a dedicated support team. Key advantages include:
Tailored Solutions: Extensive customization options, from upholstered beds to made-to-order dining chairs, backed by industry-leading turnaround times.
Streamlined Workflow: Access to Bernhardt’s Dealer Portal, live stock updates, and swatch libraries simplifies bespoke projects.
Design-Driven Curation: Globally sourced materials and artful textures underscore the brand’s “livable luxury” philosophy.
Founded in 1889 and still family-owned, Bernhardt operates eight North Carolina factories, six international offices, and a global sales network across 50 countries.
