Scope and Content East corner of first floor from the south, Bernat Klein Design Studio, Scottish Borders This design studio was built in 1972 for the textile designer and artist Bernat Klein (b.1922) to designs by architect Peter Womersley (1923-93). He had previously built the artist's home, High Sunderland, between 1956 and 1957, which is situated a short distance away. The studio is a bold concrete and glass Modern Movement structure on two storeys, with a central blue engineering brick core for services. This shows part of the studio with discussion table and chairs in a sleek Modern design which complements their surroundings. The glass-topped table has simple metal legs, as do the chairs with their angular corded seats and backs. Black formica storage and seating units are placed under the large windows, with further narrow strips of glass at floor level. This building was designed with special areas for meeting clients, painting, weaving and displaying textiles. The studio's bold, Modern style and secluded setting were very well suited to this prestigious and fashionable textile design business. This building has been selected as one of Scotland's key 20th-century Modern architectural monuments. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
