Modern Icons: The Cherner Chair
Houzz Contributor. Hi There! I currently live in a 1920s cottage in Atlanta that I'll describe as "collected."
I got into design via Landscape Architecture, which I studied at the University of Virginia. I've been writing about design online for quite a few years over at Hatch: The Design Public Blog.

The Cherner Chair was designed by Norman Cherner in 1958 for Plycraft. It's a molded plywood chair with an elegant, bent-hourglass shape. In 1999, his sons Benjamin and Thomas Cherner formed The Cherner Chair Company and re-released their father's designs with tradition and sustainability in mind (more on that later). If you are searching for a way to introduce some iconic mid-century style into your home, consider a Cherner Chair.

This is my dream dining room. The designer, Rachel Reider, has utilized the Cherner armchair at the head of the table, Cherner side chairs and a Cherner dining table. The room is fresh and contemporary but gets its mid-century vibe from the Cherner furniture.

There is also a barstool version of the Cherner chair, and you can opt for seat pads as well. You may choose to upholster the seat, the back, or both.

Today's Cherner chairs are "hand assembled from woods collected form sustainably managed forests and with 100% recyclable steel with 25% recycled content." All of its parts can be replaced and repaired, so that the chairs can be handed down for generations.

White barstools are sleek and very chic. Note that they do not overwhelm the kitchen island.

Benjamin Cherner designed the Round Cherner table in 2003. I think his father would have been proud of how well it works with four Cherner armchairs.

Need I worry about the strength of it? That wasp waist looks so fragile...

I've never sat in one either - the upholstered versions would probably be best for long dinners, or they may be more practical in eat-in kitchens if they don't turn out to be that comfy!
