Cherner Metal Leg Stacking Side Chair

Design Norman Cherner, 1958
Laminated molded plywood, chrome base
Made in the USA by The Cherner Chair Company

The Cherner family is proud to realize the reintroduction of the famed “Cherner Chair”. Designed by Norman Cherner for Plycraft in 1958, this chair is found in design collections throughout the world, including the Vitra Design Museum.

The Cherner Chair is still regarded as one of the most dramatic designs utilizing the technology of molding plywood. Like the 1958 original, the Cherner armchair utilizes a molded plywood beech core seat with a unique construction of laminated plywood in graduated thickness with face veneers in beech or walnut. Each chair is manufactured from the original drawings, molds and specifications by Cherner Chair, a Cherner family company headed by the designer’s sons.

The “classic stained walnut” option have a stain applied to both the beech core and the walnut face veneer which gives the product a uniform walnut color (very little contrast in color between the beech core and the walnut veneer). The “natural clear stained walnut” option have only a clear finish applied, which emphasizes the contrast between the exposed beech core and walnut face veneer.
