SIA LA LUCE

Bernd Goeckler, the coveted antiques and collectible design dealer has been a go-to destination for the design trade for three decades, and pillar of New York’s E 10th Street gallery district. Since opening in 1989, when Art Deco pieces began mingling with the gallery’s collection of Louis XVI and Neoclassical furnishings, the shop has consistently been at the forefront of design ether. Goeckler’s in-depth knowledge of key movements and talents in the decorative arts played a major role behind the current popularity of Italian mid-century masters such Paolo Buffa, Max Ingrand, and Gino Sarfatti. Since 2015, under the leadership of Gallery Director Katja Hirche, Bernd Goeckler's guiding force has expanded on Goeckler's legacy, nurturing the careers of contemporary makers, including Paula Swinnen, Franck Evennou, Roberto Rida, and Simone Crestani. The gallery’s striking presentations of important decorative works across eras, has been a standout at the city’s most renowned design fairs for decades. As Hirche shares, "at Bernd Goeckler, the tenants that persist are quality of design, authenticity, and of course beauty."
