The Cherner Chair Company was established in 1999 by Benjamin and Thomas Cherner.
Together the brothers created Cherner to continue the products of their father Norman Cherner's well known and established designs. The company is dedicated to bringing Norman Cherner's popular designs to manufacture, using the same techniques and attention to detail.
Alongside, re-manufacturing the Cherner chairs including the plywood chairs, stools and tables, Benjamin Cherner has launched new designs to suit modern living.
