About the Designer

Norman Cherner (1920–1987), was a trailblazer both in prefab housing and molded plywood. He taught and before that, studied at the Columbia University Fine Arts Department and was an instructor at the Museum of Modern Art in New York (1947 - 1949). Here he also delved into the Bauhaus movement, began a lifetime exploration of multidisciplinary design, from toys, lighting, glassware, shelving, and furniture to his innovative work in economical prefabricated housing. Early in his career, Cherner envisaged houses as a total design concept and designed low-cost furniture particually for these affordable modular dwellings. One of his first prefabricated houses was designed, produced, and assembled (1957) for the U.S. Department of Housing. After being exhibited in Vienna, it was moved back to Connecticut and uncrated to become his first studio and home. The molded plywood seating line is what Cherner is best known for.
