Artist Bobby Berk’s rise to bonafide "IT" status in the home design world has more in common with being a rock star than it does with a contemporary designer. Originally hailing from Texas, Bobby had big dreams of the big city and moved to New York in 2003 with only a few dollars to his name and no job in sight. After working his way up in retail at bed bath, beyond, and restoration hardware to creative director at portico home, spa, Berk decided it was time to start his own brand. Since 2006, Bobby Berk Home's retail division has consistently provided customers with a unique approach to modern design. Epitomizing hip, minimalist urban luxury, Berk’s designs reflect a stylish and youthful spirit that perfectly fits any cool, relaxed lifestyle. His past collections were inspired by mid-century modernism, taking ideas from the colours and shapes of the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Bobby brings a unique millennial viewpoint to the design industry, with substantial experience across many facets of the trade. With his extensive background in retail, manufacturing, interior design, and licencing, he is often invited to give lectures on a range of topics from the millennial demographic to streamlining furniture manufacturing and production processes at seminars and events across the globe.
