Hundreds of customers turned out for this exclusive event at the northern Virginia retailer. The collection is on display in Belfort’s newest showroom, Main.
The collection honors and reflects the evolution of design styles that have inspired this award winning interior designer. Mid-Century styling that is grounded by refined and timeless forms with sculptural elements that nod to Art Deco. Offering pieces for all areas of the home, the furniture is designed to be timeless while offering a refined, modern aesthetic.

Whether you add a signature piece or design an entire room around his collection, the collection is the definition of attainable luxury.”
The collection boasts graphite stained bar cabinets, dining tables that pair trendy terrazzo and timeless natural wood. It’s this mix, the juxtaposition, that defines Bobby Berk’s signature style.
Matt Huber, EVP at Belfort, added, “Bobby Berk creates pieces with the perfect mix of visual interest using materials that are both organic and stylish, sophisticated, yet sleek. The design styles offer different materials that resonate with today’s consumer, such as vegan leather, brass, and walnut woods.”

The event concluded with Berk drawing the door prizes, the Larsen sofa from the Bobby Berk collection and a $500 Belfort Furniture gift card towards a Bobby Berk purchase.
