Bernardo Bernardi (1921. – 1985.) bio je hrvatski dizajner, arhitekt, istraživač,

poseban prijatelj... Pedesetih godina prošlog stoljeća pa sve do svoje prerane

smrti, počeo je kreirati prostore za življenje koji su konceptom i kvalitetom

bili neprikosnoveno autentični, a istovremeno su ravnopravno konkurirali tada

suvremenim svjetskim tendencijama. Njegov dizajn usporediv je po kvaliteti

i stvaralačkom stavu sa svim kvalitetnim primjerima tog doba te ni danas nije

izgubio na karakteru, aktualnosti i svježini.

Od prvog dana djeluje izvan ustaljenih formi arhitektonske struke i karijere. Čovjek

je širokih interesa: arhitekt po obrazovanju, interijerist i dizajner po vokaciji, kulturni

poslenik po duhu; hrvao se gotovo četiri desetljeća s problemom odnosa čovjeka i

prostora. Tražio je sintetičku formulu koja bi u sebi sadržavala sva mjerila, od totala do

detalja, od filozofskog i idejnog opredjeljenja, preko organizacije i oblikovanja prostora,

do mobilijara koji će ga zajedno s čovjekom nastaniti i predmeta koji će ga ispuniti.

U vrlo kvalitetnom stvaralačkom periodu pedesetih i šezdesetih godina prošlog

stoljeća, hrvatski arhitekti i dizajneri afirmirali su oblikovanje životnog prostora

korisnika kao važan sastavni dio arhitektonskog procesa. Osobito je to vidljivo u

radu Bernarda Bernardija, a tendencija prema total-dizajnu, u smislu specifičnog

oblikovanja namještaja za određene projekte kao i integracije djela tada najizvrsnijih

likovnih umjetnika, bila mu je gotovo opsesija. Svakako je to najvidljivije u projektu

zagrebačkog, tada zvanog Radničkog sveučilišta Moša Pijade (autori arhitekture:

Nikšić, Kučan, 1961.). Tom specifičnom projektu, neupitnih visokih dosega

u arhitekturi i dizajnu, Bernardi je oblikovanjem cjelokupnog namještaja dao

specifični identitet. Isto to moguće je reći i za hotel Maestral u Brelima (autori

arhitekture: De Luca, Salaj, Rožić, 1965.).

Ponovna proizvodnja Bernardijeva namještaja govori o nezastarijevanju artefakata

stvorenih prije pedesetak godina, o njihovoj svevremenoj kvaliteti i neupitnoj

funkcionalnosti. Također je to doprinos samosvijesti o kompleksnoj vrijednosti

stvorene kulture prostora koja je živjela u prošlom stoljeću.

Bernardo Bernardi (1921 – 1985), Croatian designer, architect, researcher, good

friend…he started creating spaces for living in the 1950s up until his early death,

which were in their concept and quality unquestionably authentic and, at the same

time, internationally competitive. His furniture design is comparable in its quality and

attitude to other representative examples from the period in question; it has not lost

its idiosyncrasy, topicality and freshness.

From the very first day, he distanced himself from the tested forms of his profession

and usual career paths. He was a man with a wide range of interests, an architect by

education, an interior designer by vocation and a custodian of culture by spirit; he was

tackling the relationship between man and space for almost four decades. He was

looking for a synthetic design formula that would include all spheres, from totality to

details, from philosophical and conceptual standpoints, over organization and shaping

of space to the very furniture and objects that will be placed within and fill it.

In a very fertile period in the 1950s and 1960s, Croatian architects and designers

affirmed the design of clients’ living spaces as a formative part of the architectural

process. This is especially visible in the work of Bernardo Bernardi, and the tendency

towards total design in terms of design of furniture for specific projects, as well as

in terms of integration of works of the then most exceptional artists, was almost an

obsession of his. This is certainly most visible in the project then known as Moša Pijade

Workers’ University in Zagreb (architects: Nikšić, Kučan, 1961). Bernardi contributed to

the specific identity of this project, the symbol of unquestionable achievements in

architecture and design, by designing furniture for it. The same could be said for the

Hotel Maestral in Brela (architects: De Luca, Salaj, Rožić, 1965).

The renewed production of Bernardi’s furniture tells us about the contemporaneity

of the artifacts that were created fifty years ago, about their lasting quality and

unquestionable functionality. It is also a contribution to the awareness of the

complex set of values concerning the created culture of space that existed in the

last century.
