Considered a pioneer in molded plywood, Norman Cherner used this method to create a line of seating for Plycraft that led to his famous "Cherner Chair." This model chair is found in design collections throughout the world, including the Vitra Design Museum and the Cherner Chair is still regarded as one of the most dramatic designs utilizing the technology of molding plywood. The Cherner side chair utilizes a molded plywood seat with a unique construction of laminated walnut plywood in graduated thickness. The seats and backs are designed using a single shell connected by a slim and sturdy neck upholstered in new black vinyl nearly identical to the original material all set atop a set of slender, powder-coated metal legs. Stamped "October 31st, 1963" and retaining the original Plycraft tags these one of a kind dining chairs are as good as it gets for collectors and designers alike. With very few of these chairs available for sale, and even fewer in such breathtaking condition this set won't last long. Make them yours today before they're gone forever. less

The … moreThis extraordinary set of dining chairs has recently undergone a comprehensive and transformative restoration and we love the results! The molded walnut plywood shells have been professionally refinished and show one veneer repair as well as some scratches and nicks (all of which can be seen in the photos provided). With that said the wood is in overall very good condition and the walnut woodgrains are absolutely stunning in natural light. The seats and backrests have been re-upholstered in a marine-grade black vinyl and show no blemishes whatsoever. The metal bases/legs have been sandblasted and powder-coated in a low gloss black and show no serious signs of damage or wear. These one of a kind dining chairs are comfortable, structurally sound and ready for decades more of use. Please view all photos for details on this breathtaking set's current condition. We're limited on how many photos we can post so additional photos and videos are available upon request. less
