Mid-Century "Cherner Chair" Celebrates 50 Year Anniversary
Norman Cherner's famous plywood side and armchair will celebrate its 50 anniversary this year, and it is still as desired today as it was half a century ago. The molded laminated plywood of graduating thicknesses from 15 ply at the slender waist to 5 ply at the perimeter edge of the seat possesses exceptional structural strength and dramatic sculptural beauty. The Chair's popularity soared when it appeared in Norman Rockwell's 1961 painting "The Artist at Work" on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post. Norman Cherner's sons later formed the "Cherner Chair Company" to revive their fathers designs which were once stolen by the original manufacturer Plycraft, and produce them as their father originally intended. Even the solid one piece bent wood arm remains as a feature that reveals a true dedication to the original design and quality. Made in the USA Side Chair $659 Arm Chair $999 from DWR.com
