There are a handful of furniture manufacturers known for their unique approach to design as well as their commitment to quality. It’s companies like these who’ve been able to survive through years of changes in style and aesthetic. One company that fits this mold is the famed Bernhardt Furniture Company, founded in 1889, and still in operation to this day. Having existed through countless eras of design, one highlight of their time was during the Mid-Century when furniture was to be both stylish and functional. Such is true with this pair of Flair by Bernhardt Furniture Lounge Chairs, which we completely restored to perfection.

We were quite taken with the design of these chairs, which it turns out are quite rarely seen, originally designed under the brand Flair which was an offshoot of Bernhardt’s main collection. The design is prominently angular, yet no hard edges exist, the designers instead favored subtle curved nuances to soften the chair to the eye. We kept this intention in mind as we restored the pair, choosing a cashmere-like material to accentuate the softness of these chairs. The alpaca wool blend in the color Clay is a handsome complement to the newly refinished solid walnut sled bases, the combination is best experienced in person and to the touch. We used brand new down wrapped foam inserts for the cushions, a premium fill, which provides the luxury of down without the need to constantly “fluff”.

The result is a pair of Bernhardt Furniture Lounge Chairs, meticulously restored and ready to effortlessly exist in an array of environments. These low and deep chairs are the perfect addition to a living space, a lounge, or perhaps a more intimate setting.
