Awesome set of 6 vintage modern style scoop seat dining chairs in coffee-with-cream colored velvet by Flair for Hibriten. Flair was a division of Bernhardt Furniture.

Although three of the chairs are of a slightly different tone and there is some slight fading, are still beautiful and look lovely together. They have their original tags underneath stating Flair for Hibriten Furniture. That places them circa 1970s not only from their modern design style, but the fact that by 1982 Bernhardt had dropped their Flair Division and the Hibriten Furniture name. This amazing set of six dining chairs are stunning and comfortable statement makers.
