Abner Henry, renowned for its custom designer hardwood furniture and collaborations with names like Sasha Bikoff and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, is launching its most ambitious collection yet, 52 pieces with Florida-based designer Dwayne Bergmann, debuting this April at High Point Market.
A longtime admirer of Abner Henry’s unparalleled craftsmanship, Bergmann frequently sourced their custom furniture for his bespoke design projects. When building his own brand, Barrett Bergmann Home, he reached out to explore VuePoint, Abner Henry’s revolutionary real-time customization and pricing platform.
The conversation sparked a natural collaboration, filling a gap in Abner Henry’s lineup with Bergmann’s unique perspective, one that seamlessly blends European luxury and American functionality.
The Abner Henry x Dwayne Bergmann Collection reimagines Art Deco, Mid-Century Modern, and historic European influences.
“The original furnishings from these eras often feel disproportionate or limited in finish options,” Bergmann explains. “This collection updates those ideas for contemporary living.”
Materiality plays a key role in the collection, with layered combinations of wood, metal and lacquer creating dynamic visual interest. From Abner Henry’s side, this collection is truly a labor of love.
“We pushed the boundaries with high definition colors, curved hardwoods, and artisan metalwork,” says LaVern Hershberger, president and creative director at Abner Henry. “Some of the curves were so complex that we developed an entirely new technique for curved hardwood construction.”
“Working with the skilled team at Abner Henry allowed me to bring my designs to life in new ways,” says Bergmann. “Their ability to turn ideas into reality gave me the freedom to create without limits.”
Beyond aesthetics, this collection was designed with real-world functionality in mind, developing a diverse range of styles and price points, ensuring flexibility for designers and their clients. The collaboration also leverages VuePoint, allowing clients to easily tailor pieces to their specific project needs.
For those visiting High Point Market this Spring, be sure to join us in the Abner Henry showroom for champagne, Aperol Spritzes and a mix of European inspired bites and traditional Amish hors d’oeuvres.
Be among the first to explore the new 52-piece collection, connect with Dwayne Bergmann and the Abner Henry team, and toast to the artistry and inspiration behind each design.
