Although a pioneer in prefab housing, Norman Cherner is best known for this chair. Constructed of laminated plywood of graduating thicknesses, from 5-ply at the seat edge to 15-ply at the slender waist, the Cherner Chair (1958) possesses exceptional structural strength and dramatic sculptural beauty. The armchair version features a single solid piece of bent beech that wraps around the sitter. This is the authentic Cherner Chair made by the Cherner Chair Company.
Exceptional design with strength and beauty.
Innovative wood-molding technique creates sculptural, comfortable seat.
Featured in a 1961 painting by Norman Rockwell.
