Ellen Bernhardt and Paola Vella, the Milan-based duo behind the design firm Bernhardt & Vella, have long considered design to be more than just a career: it’s a language of its own, a lifestyle. After more than 15 years of working with some of the world’s leading brands, they are now looking for a more personal form of expression. Their latest project, “No More Private”, is their first collection of private furniture. The first three pieces – a coffee table and two armchairs – already disclose much of their vision. Travertine and polished steel, rough wool and smooth silk: the duo brilliantly play on contrasts and perceptions. We can’t wait to discover the rest!
