Becca Lounge Chair

Becca Lounge Chair by Terry Crews for Bernhardt Design

Inspired by his wife Rebecca, Crews' Becca Chairs are both modern and sumptuous. Intended to dispel any myths about modern design being only hard or angular, Crews designed the Becca collection to be curvaceous and unapologetically feminine. The collection, to quote Architectural Digest, is "a love letter to his wife."

The Becca Lounge chair is part of a seating collection inspired by transitional architecture that bridges the gap between traditional and modern design, creating a new and comfortably warm aesthetic. Becca works just as well at home as it does in a commercial space by providing enhanced comfort without sacrificing clean design, resulting in lounge pieces that are irresistibly cozy and still deliver a sleek, modern appearance.

The grouping ranges from club chairs, settees, and sofas to a collection of modular pieces. Graceful and elegant lines are accentuated by a continuous welt that traces the perimeter with saddle stitch seams on the interior and exterior. Contrasting textiles for the seat, inner and outer back, and welt present numerous custom options.

The Becca collection was designed by Terry Crews. Crews turned his talents to the performing arts after several years in the NFL, where his talent, hard work, character and dedication has made him one of the most sought after and respected talents in the industry. Expanding on his love of craftsmanship and his extensive background as an artist and illustrator, Terry established design house AMEN & AMEN. The company seeks out and supports creatives in the world of art, music, fashion, decor and industrial design. Initially breaking ground with menswear fashion, the label successfully expanded to interior lighting and furnishings in 2016 with the exhibition of Ini Archibong’s The Secret Garden collection at Salon De Mobile in Milan. Many words could be used to describe Terry Crews – actor, entertainer, athlete, author, activist – but above all else, he’s an artist.

Bernhardt Design

Originally founded by John M. Bernhardt in 1889, Bernhardt Furniture Company has evolved and expanded for more than 125 years, adding Bernhardt Design for the commercial and contract market in 1983.

Under the leadership of Creative Director and now President Jerry Helling, Bernhardt Design has commissioned designs by top global design talent and some of the most creative minds in the business.  Reaching beyond the elite design world, Bernhardt Design is also known for cultivating emerging designers across many disciplines, including art, industrial design, textile design, music, and cinema.

Created with meticulous attention to both aesthetic beauty and functionality, Bernhardt Design furniture is equally at home in a residence as it is in an office space or hotel lobby.

Behind the brawn, action, and laughs, Terry Crews is a renaissance man from Flint, Michigan, who, as a teen, got his first big break after high school with an art scholarship at the prestigious Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan. This was followed by an Art Excellence scholarship and a full-ride football scholarship to play as a defensive end at Western Michigan University.

After several years in the NFL (where he painted portraits of teammates to supplement his income), Crews turned his talents to the performing arts, where his talent, hard work, character and dedication have made him one of the most sought after and respected actors in the industry.

Expanding on his love of craftsmanship and his extensive background as an artist and illustrator, Terry established design house AMEN & AMEN. He seeks out and supports creatives in the world of art, music, fashion, decor and industrial design. Initially breaking ground with menswear fashion designer Nana Boateng, the label successfully expanded to interior lighting and furnishings in 2016 with the exhibition of Ini Archibong’s The Secret Garden collection at Salone Di Mobile in Milan.

At the request of Bernhardt Design President and Creative Director Jerry Helling, Crews then designed his own groundbreaking furniture collection, inspired by a vision of Ancient Egyptian Civilization flourishing in the modern era.
