Bernhardt : Opera seating : 1989
Designed to augment the Opus collections of seating for Bernhardt. Opera is designed as a platform to express the qualities of the Bernhardt leather program.
The single and two seat forms are scaled to offer comfort, formality and lightness for use in reception of conference applications. The seat forms stretch and drape the leather upholstery over preformed plywood shells. The 'gothic' quality of each piece suggests intimacy and intrigue.
Bernhardt furniture also designed by Paul Haigh includes: Sinistra and Enigma
