Designed by Benjamin Cherner, the Cherner Lounge Arm Chair is defined by its inviting, curved shape that recalls the original 1958 Cherner chair designed by Benjamin’s father, Norman. The molded plywood shell, solid bentwood arm, and laminated wood base flow fluidly into one another, which gives the lounge chair an organic, calming sensibility.
