Inspired by contrasts between Norway, Europe, and the United States, Bernt Heiberg and Bill Cummings focus on a modern Scandinavian mode of living blended with a continental, sophisticated style. With a flair for elegant details, their personal signature is a fusion of light, spaciousness, and muted colors that resonates with contemporary taste

Norway and New York City-based interior designers Bernt Heiberg and Bill Cummings of Heiberg Cummings Design bring both an eye for Scandinavian minimalism and an appreciation for a traditional American aesthetic to each of their projects.

Bernt and Bill value individual expression above all, and are profoundly inspired by their clients’ own tastes and personalities. Whether reimagining a secluded home in the country or an apartment looking out over the skyline of Manhattan, the firm tailors each space to its unique inhabitants. With a flair for elegant details, their personal signature is a fusion of light, spaciousness, and muted colors that resonates with contemporary taste.

This spirit is evident in this lavishly illustrated book, which includes a combination of formal essays and handwritten notes detailing Bernt and Bill’s inspirations and thought processes, as well as snapshots of glamorous events and locations. The whimsical text combined with the vivid mix of color, black and white, and collage-style prints perfectly illustrate the eclectic style of this up and coming design firm.
