Multidisciplinary artist, architect and designer Norman Cherner created his namesake chair in 1958. Constant requests to reissue the design compelled his son Benjamin to create the Cherner Chair Company in 1999, and to produce his father's seating, table and storage designs to the exacting original standards. The Cherner Chair remains a coveted icon, and the Cherner collection today includes Benjamin Cherner's own designs along with innovative variations on Cherner classics.
