For more than a century, Bernhardt has been one of the most respected names in American furniture making. Bernhardt Exteriors is the brand’s outdoor line, and it brings that same eye for design to the patio, terrace and poolside. At AuthenTEAK, we see it as a collection for homeowners who want their outdoor rooms to feel as finished and considered as the rooms inside.
Bernhardt Exteriors was inspired by the brand’s well-known interior collections, so the pieces have the proportions, silhouettes and tailoring you’d expect in a designer living room. They’re built to handle sun, rain and changing seasons. The style is deliberately eclectic. Clean modern lines sit next to softer transitional shapes, so the collection works with coastal homes, contemporary architecture and classic estates alike.
Materials are what set this line apart. Bernhardt uses an unusually wide range of them: stone, concrete and terrazzo; rattan, woven wicker and rope weaves; cast acrylic; and metals with custom finishes. Many woven pieces use handwoven high-density polyethylene that resists UV fading and weather, and the stone and composite tabletops hold up to heat, moisture and stains. The result is outdoor furniture with real texture that’s still made to last.
Comfort comes first in every Bernhardt Exteriors seating group. Sofas, sectionals, loveseats and daybeds have deep, plush cushions covered in performance outdoor fabrics, including Sunbrella. The lounge assortment includes swivel chairs, accent chairs, chaise lounges and chair-and-a-half designs, so there’s a comfortable seat for every corner of your outdoor space.
The line goes well beyond lounge seating. Dining tables and chairs are made for long evenings outdoors, and occasional and accent tables, along with custom pillows, complete the look. Because the pieces are designed as cohesive collections, it’s easy to pull dining, lounging and conversation areas together into one polished outdoor setting.
At AuthenTEAK, we choose brands that share our standards for quality, design and durability, and Bernhardt Exteriors meets all three. Whether you’re furnishing a covered loggia or an open rooftop, our team can help you choose pieces and materials that suit your climate and style. Shop the full Bernhardt Exteriors collection to bring sophisticated, comfortable design to your outdoor living space.

Bernhardt Exteriors is a luxury outdoor line from Bernhardt Furniture, a family-owned North Carolina company founded in 1889. It was created to match the comfort, quality, and design of the Bernhardt Interiors line, using materials such as teak, stainless steel, aluminum, and woven rope.
Bernhardt Exteriors comes from Bernhardt Furniture, headquartered in Lenoir, North Carolina, and AuthenTEAK lists several pieces as made in the United States. A retailer review says the company runs North Carolina factories and sources other furniture mainly from Vietnam and Indonesia.
Bernhardt Exteriors is known for bringing the look of Bernhardt Interiors outside. The line debuted at the October 2019 High Point Market with about 50 designs, including upholstered seating, dining pieces, a large round daybed and swivel chairs. Its style is closer to living room furniture than traditional patio sets, which suits designers planning outdoor rooms.
Bernhardt Exteriors uses teak, brushed aluminum, stainless steel, all-weather wicker, and woven rope, with some tables in cast stone and terrazzo. Fabric partners named by Bernhardt include Sunbrella, Outdura, Revolution and InsideOut. The Capri sofa, for example, pairs dyed olefin rope with aluminum legs, so construction varies across the collections.
