Cherner Pouf

After receiving numerous requests from fellow architects to reissue their father's designs, Benjamin joined with his brother Thomas to form the Cherner Chair Company in 1999. Since then, the company has brought many of Norman Cherner's most celebrated designs back into production, based on the original drawings and specifications. The reissues are crafted with the same attention to detail as the original classics. Cherner Chair products are made in the USA and available through the Cherner Chair Company and retailers worldwide. In addition to reissuing Norman Cherner bent plywood chairs and stools, the company has introduced new designs by Benjamin Cherner.

Benjamin Cherner is the son of furniture designer Norman Cherner and founder of the Cherner Chair Company. His multidisciplinary design studio and laboratory are located in New York and Connecticut. His work has been published in The New York Times, Dwell magazine and featured in the first New York Open House Tour. A registered architect in New York and Connecticut, he holds degrees in Architecture and Solar Technology from Arizona State University and Columbia University, where he received the William Kinne Fellows Prize.
