Design Joe Doucet
Polished stainless steel, cast aluminum, upholstery
Made in USA by Bernhardt Design

When Jerry Helling, president of Bernhardt asked Joe Doucet Studio to design their first contract furniture piece, they were very excited as they love trying things they had never done before. The result of this collaboration was Duet. A small width conference chair that blends in to any environment.

Joe Doucet's ability to fluidly cross the different disciplines of design has made him one of the most sought after creative talents working in America. After graduating from the prestigious Art Center College of Design, Doucet quickly began exporting his vision beyond graphic design, culminating in the launch of Joe Doucet Studio, which incorporates his mantra, "Everything Communicates," across the broad spectrum of projects he delivers. As a designer, inventor, artist and auteur, his work deftly hybridizes function and visual appeal while conveying layers of meaning and message. Doucet's work has been exhibited in numerous places internationally and his awards include a 2010 World Technology Award for Design and a Good Design Award in 2008. Doucet was also named the first ever AvantGuardian for Design by Surface Magazine in 2009, and he currently holds more than 30 patents for his designs and inventions.

Duet features swivel/tilt mechanism with 2-degrees forward pitch and standard gas pneumatic lift mounted on a 25" 5-star cast aluminum base with black dual-wheel casters for use on carpet or hard surfaces. The flat polished stainless steel arms wrap around the bent plywood shell and upholstered molded polyurethane foam shell. The shell upholstery is offered either smooth or with a horizontal quilt.
