Cherner Chair Company

Norman Cherner (1920-1987) was an American architect and designer who, like his compatriots Charles and Ray Eames and Denmark's Arne Jacobsen, explored the many possibilities offered by the curved plywood technique developed by Finland's Alvar Aalto.

Norman Cherner was soon designing prefabricated plywood houses and furniture using this technique, which was particularly economical compared to traditional cabinetmaking. It was in the 1950s that Norman Cherner reached aesthetic maturity in his furniture designs, producing the iconic Cherner chair. 

Created in 1958 for the Plycraft company in Lawrence, Massachusetts, these two pieces became famous in 1961 thanks to a painting by Norman Rockwell, “The Artist at Work”, which made the front page of the Saturday Evening Post. For the record, the owner of Plycraft long claimed to have designed them himself, producing them under his own name until a court case ordered him to pay royalties to Norman Cherner in the early 1970s.

After Norman Cherner's death in 1987, his two sons Benjamin and Thomas founded the Cherner Chair Company in 1999 to reissue their father's furniture, which could now only be found in antique shops, museums and the living rooms of a few privileged collectors. Benjamin designed the Cherner table in 2004, which is coordinated with the chair and armchair.
