The Rosa Bernal Collection
“The Rosa Bernal Collection was born to provide designers and retailers with a product line which encapsulates the essence of 16th, 17th and 18th Century European refinement.
In order to recapture that excellence, we had to take two steps back to recover the essence of refinement, undoubtedly lost, in the name of industrial and volume production over the past four centuries. It has been an enormous challenge in every aspect, but equally fulfilling.
The collection is history itself and truly recaptures a spirit faded within time. It takes us back to a long-lost sensation of real exclusivity.” Francisco Bernal. – C.E.O. & Creative Director
