Cherner


I bought the chair above at a friend's yard sale last summer for a ridiculously low price. (It had been a chair her grandmother had purchased way back.) I thought it would be nice for James at his desk upstairs as it swivels. He didn't like it and the chair moved to the office. The kids were on their way to hurting it so I tucked it away and knew it had to leave. I researched the chair and learned it was designed by Norman Cherner who was educated in the Bauhaus tradition. (His was a brilliant talent and his sons are currently reissuing his furniture.) I got it listed on Ebay and the auction is closing today. There are 24 people who are interested in purchasing it. I got inquiries about shipping to Hong Kong, France and the U.K. Who knows how high it will go. I was happy with my listing price.
