A sculptor and furniture designer, Bernhard E. Rohne was born in Peine, Germany in 1944 and emigrated to his current home, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in 1967. His primary mediums are copper, brass, aluminum and zinc metal sheets, which he etches and oxidizes. From them he creates decorative panels, furniture and accessories. He's also worked in enamels, stained glass and mixed mediums. His subject is primarily abstraction - colors, shapes and textures. His styles are Abstract Expressionism and Geometric Abstraction. His art education includes four years at Werkkunstschule, Hannover, Germany; as well as an earlier apprenticeship in painting and design. Rohne's work has been exhibited extensively in Canada, the USA, Great Britain and Germany; and an example of it, is in the permanent collection of the Canadian Museum of Civilization, Gatineau, Quebec. He's also completed numerous corporate commissions.

Mastercraft
Compared to that other furniture-makers in historically minded Grand Rapids, Michigan, the work of Mastercraft seems positively flamboyant. The company was founded in 1947 by brothers Charles and William Doezema, who hailed from a long line of cabinetmakers. They went overseas during their service in World War II, and returned home with a plan to make furniture with cosmopolitan flair. Their firm specialized in chairs and case pieces that have modernized traditional forms, finished in exotic wood veneers such as amboyna, yew, burl and fruitwood, and trimmed in brass. Bureaus and credenzas often feature cabinet fronts with decorative brass details such as silhouettes of flowers and birds, or figures that resemble Chinese characters.
In later years, Mastercraft created chairs and glass-topped coffee tables with brass frames. Some pieces included touches like the Greek key — a motif that appears in the decorative arts of both Asian and European antiquity. After Mastercraft was acquired by industry giant Baker Furniture in 1974, the company produced a large group of case pieces featuring applied brass plaques, acid-etched with semi-abstract forms by the German-born, Vancouver-based artist Bernhard Rohne.
The latter are some of the most popular Mastercraft pieces, and like all the company’s wares range in price from about $2,000 to $12,000 depending on size, condition and the amount of decorative trim. As you will see on 1stDibs, Mastercraft furnishings made a bold but artful statement — perfect for lending a bit of dash and brawn to a contemporary decor.
