Founded in 1889 by John Mathias Bernhardt in Lenoir, NC, Bernhardt Furniture is one of the largest family-owned furniture companies in the U.S. Now led by the fourth generation—President and CEO Alex Bernhardt, Jr.—the brand sets the pace globally for refined, inspired furnishings while remaining deeply rooted in North Carolina.

Merging legacy with modern luxury, the company recently relocated its High Point showroom to a freestanding 95,000 square-foot destination, designed with intention by Bernhardt. The striking double-height lobby layered in creamy tones and natural textures is a prelude to the succession of beautiful furniture settings and dramatic spaces that follow, including an art gallery featuring original works, two designer workstations, and a very cool club which hosts buyers for meals as well as social events.

“Bernhardt’s new High Point showroom is much more authentic to our brand aesthetic, and every part of it, from the exterior to each interior room, showcases our passion for design. This space presents our furniture and collections within the most beautiful settings, and also inspires each visitor to our showroom.” —Alex Bernhardt, Jr., President and CEO

Guided by inspiration from travel, architecture, artisan craftsmanship and uniquely beautiful materials, Bernhardt’s broad range of collections offers high design at affordable price points—among them: Bernhardt Casegoods (whole home collections), Bernhardt Living (seating and accent tables), Bernhardt Loft, Bernhardt Workspace, Bernhardt Exteriors (outdoor) and the aspirational Bernhardt Interiors brand.

Designer-friendly, the company provides customizable options across seating, dining, and bedroom categories, with most made-to-order items delivered in just four weeks. Designers also benefit from flexible terms, generous swatch access, dedicated customer service reps, and a robust online portal to track orders and availability with ease.
