Holden

from Bernhardt Design

Based on a clear geometric framework, the Holden modular seating system is defined by distinct volumes—seat, back, and armrests—that are composed into a continuous, cohesive whole. Rather than blending forms, the design develops through adjacency, with proportion guiding each transition to create visual clarity and balance. An open metal base lifts the upholstered body, creating a sense of suspension while articulating the relationship between mass and lightness. Pitched stitching reinforces edges and highlights key junctions.
