The 1958 moulded plywood side chair by Norman Cherner is an icon of mid-century furniture design, showcased in exhibitions worldwide. American architect and designer Norman Cherner studied and taught at the Fine Arts Department and was an instructor at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City from 1947 to 1949. During this time, he also explored the Bauhaus movement, embarking on a lifetime exploration of multidisciplinary design: from furniture, glassware, lighting and accessories to his advanced work in low-cost prefabricated housing. Best-known for the moulded plywood seating he created for Plycraft, Cherner was an innovative and unassuming hero of modern design.
The understated Cherner Side Chair is cleverly crafted for timeless appeal and seamless adaptability. The molded plywood piece has been featured in museums and galleries, as well as artist Normal Rockwell's masterpiece, "The Artist at Work." Taking on a bowtie shape, the chair maximizes comfort despite the pared-down silhouette. The concave backrest is widest at the shoulders and the seat is curved, allowing the body to relax easily. This item’s organic, streamlined shape allows it to be suitable for home or office environments.
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.
