Rare Set of Six (6) Bentwood Dining w/ Metal Bases Chairs by Norman Cherner for Plycraft USA 1963
About: As rare as they are visually stunning this extraordinary set of chairs first designed by the iconic Norman Cherner in 1958 has recently undergone a comprehensive and transformative restoration offering a modern twist to the classic design. 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.
