Our Designers

Berman’s products and interiors reflect the designer’s interest in history, art, and architecture – especially the Deco period of the 30’s and 40’s – film noir and the influences of designers such as Angelo Donghia, Billy Haines, and Dorothy Draper. His work strikes an uncommon balance between timeless style and an at-the-moment relevance.

In addition to interiors projects from New York to Los Angeles Berman has lent his creative vision to a burgeoning line of products and furniture with leading brands in the industry such as Robert Abbey, Walker Zanger, Kravet and Brown Jordan, to name a few, and his most recent line “Califolio” with Theodore Alexander.

Trend meets tradition in th WILLIAMSBURG collection. Inspired by 18th-century furniture patterns in rare books, architectural details in the "Revolutionary City," and decorative details and colors in the vast design archive of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, Robert Abbey's talented design team has developed lamps and fixtures with timeless style and contemporary appeal. They've channeled global chic from England's 18th century trade goods and paired Asian elegance with urns that represent the classical founations of British and American architectural heritage.

Established in 1936, WILLIAMSBURG invented licensing of museum-based home furnishings. WILLIAMSBURG is the brand of The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, the large not-for-profit organization that keeps history alive by maintaining the country's oldest and largest outdoor history museum. Here, visionaries like Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry debated the promise-and perils-of a revolution that would change the course of history and lead to the founding of the United States of America. Sales of WILLIAMSBURG products supports the mission of historical education, preservation, and the nurture of active citizen engagement.
