Our philo­sophy is based on the devel­op­ment of user-centered indus­trial design, which is not only aesthet­ic­ally appealing but also prior­it­izes the needs of users. Through delib­erate design, we consider not only the aesthetic appear­ance but also the func­tion­ality and user-friend­li­ness of our products.

In the devel­op­ment of each design, we place great emphasis on a mean­ingful use of resources. We strive to find effi­cient solu­tions that not only protect the envir­on­ment but are also econom­ic­ally and sustain­ably viable. In doing so, we contribute to minim­izing the envir­on­mental impact of our products while maxim­izing the bene­fits for our customers.

Our network of exper­i­enced designers, engin­eers, and human factor experts collab­orate closely to develop innov­ative solu­tions that meet both user needs and market require­ments. Through continuous research and devel­op­ment, we stay at the fore­front of user-centered indus­trial design, setting new stand­ards in the field.

Fabian Bernhard and Thomas Burkard founded the design studio BERNHARD | BURKARD in 2010. Ever since, the studio is success­fully working in the different fields of indus­trial design and devel­op­ment. Their compre­hensive exper­i­ence and excel­lent network enables the studio to accom­plish a project from concep­tion to tech­nical real­iz­a­tion - offering a full range of services.
