Design Plus Gallery presents a Pair of Chern Armchairs by Cherner Chair Company. Designed by Norman Cherner in 1958. Originally created and manufactured for Plycraft, which he ultimately sued the company over. After telling Cherner that his design had been scrapped, Plycraft’s owner continued to produce it, claiming himself as the designer. 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. While Plycraft agreed to pay Cherner royalties, the line was out of production by the early 1970s. Then Cherner’s sons formed the Cherner Chair Company to revive the designs and produce them as their father originally intended. Constructed of laminated plywood of graduating thicknesses, from 5 ply at the perimeter edge of the seat to 15 ply at the slender waist, the design possesses exceptional structural strength and dramatic sculptural beauty. The arm is a single solid piece of bent beech with a walnut stain. Visible minor wear on the frame. Brand label is under the seat. Made in U. S. A.
