Bernhardt Design Blueprint Collection

The Blueprint Collection was a design collaboration with Raleigh Denim founders Sarah Yarborough and Victor Lytvinenko to address the open environment workspace. This collection offers a configure-your-own system for a more creative and inspiring work landscape. We had a lot of heads working on this one to ensure we were supplying the most comprehensive system we could. Working as the primary designer for this collection, I had to ensure everyone's tasks aligned with the goals of the collection. My direct responsibilities were base development, power options and wiring scenarios, and managing the overall scope of line.
Developing methods to attach tops as varying work heights, we were able to create a unique and flexible landscape within the space.
A nod to the classic A Frame, these solid wood bases were developed through many iterations to nail down proportions and to successfully create a base that did not require the typical support beam that runs from leg to leg. In order to create support for the varying top lengths, we developed our own system using extrusions and die-cast pieces.
The Blueprint System offers the ability to create long runs to maximize table top surfaces in the space.
Power integration using our own branded plastic housings was an important offering for this collection, resulting in the bases to be compatible with wiring to the floor with as little visual cord impact as possible.
The Loop Base was another engineering feat to maintain its elegant lines and open design, while keeping it robust enough to handle the weight and lengths of the tops. Not to mention putting levelers in this bad boy!
The tiered concept of this collection allows there to be a separation of space while still maintaining the flow of system.
For a more reserved position within the space, the Block Bases allow the system to be all about the functionality, including storage, and trash/recycle pedestal options.
Who wouldn't dig working in this space?!
