A fresh compositional take on Norman Cherner’s iconic 1958 moulded plywood armchair. This second Cherner Chair graphic print offers a new perspective on the celebrated mid-century design classic, making it the perfect companion piece or a striking standalone artwork for design-conscious interiors.

This yellow edition celebrates the Cherner Chair in a way that feels unmistakably mid-century. Inspired by the warm ochres and mustard tones that appeared throughout furniture, textiles and interiors of the 1950s and 60s, the background gives the chair an optimistic, graphic quality without overwhelming its elegant silhouette.

Against the rich yellow, the chair almost becomes an architectural drawing, allowing Norman Cherner’s beautifully tapered plywood form to stand out. It works especially well alongside walnut furniture, oak flooring and natural materials, adding warmth to a study, living room or creative workspace.

Norman Cherner

Norman Cherner wasn’t trained as a furniture designer. He was an architect, and that background shaped almost everything he created.

Architects tend to think about proportion before decoration. They ask how something works before worrying about how it looks. That mindset is obvious in the Cherner Chair. Every curve has a purpose. Every joint feels considered rather than ornamental.

Born in Brooklyn in 1920, Cherner studied architecture and developed an interest in affordable, well-designed housing alongside furniture. He believed good design shouldn’t be reserved for a small number of wealthy clients. Throughout his career he explored how modern materials and manufacturing techniques could make everyday objects better without making them unnecessarily complicated.

Although the chair now bears his name, its journey wasn’t entirely straightforward. It was originally manufactured by Plycraft, but disagreements over attribution meant the design was sold for many years without Norman Cherner receiving the recognition many believed he deserved.

Only decades later was his authorship fully restored, and the chair began to be widely associated with the designer who had created it.

Today his work enjoys renewed appreciation. While he designed houses, books and other furniture, the Cherner Chair remains his best-known achievement. It represents something surprisingly rare in industrial design: a product that feels both technically sophisticated and emotionally warm.

Eames contemporary wall art print from One in 100

Eames RAR in warm grey

A refined colourway variation of our bestselling Eames RAR Rocker Art Print, rendered in a sophisticated warm grey palette. This limited edition Eames rocking chair print captures the iconic 1950 Charles and Ray Eames design with a softer, more subdued aesthetic ideal for contemporary neutral interiors.

This palette feels particularly at home in interiors built around natural timber, linen, stone and muted colours. It complements rather than competes, making it an easy choice for living spaces where calm, considered design takes precedence over bold statements. The subtle warmth of the background also echoes the maple or walnut runners that have always been such an important part of the chair’s character.

Eames RAR in Red

A graphic celebration of one of the most joyful designs in furniture history – the Eames RAR (Rocking Armchair Rod Base). Created by Charles and Ray Eames in 1950, this moulded fibreglass rocker represents the playful genius of mid-century modern design at its finest. An essential piece for Eames collectors and design enthusiasts.

This red edition reflects the clean, optimistic spirit that made the Eames RAR one of the defining designs of the twentieth century. Its bright background draws attention to the chair’s instantly recognisable silhouette – the flowing shell, slender steel rod base and gently curved wooden runners that have become icons of modern furniture design.

There’s an understated confidence to this version. The crisp yellow backdrop allows every line and proportion to stand out, making it particularly well suited to bright, contemporary interiors where simplicity is part of the appeal.

Illustration of Cherner Chair limited edition print

Cherner Chair 1

This limited-edition art print offers a refined graphic interpretation of Norman Cherner’s legendary 1958 moulded plywood armchair. The artwork captures the sculptural curves and timeless elegance that turned the Cherner Chair into a landmark of mid-century American furniture design.

This taupe edition takes a quieter approach. The cool background shifts the focus towards the chair’s sculptural form, highlighting the flowing curves and delicate proportions that have made it one of the defining designs of the twentieth century. There’s a calmness to this version that suits contemporary interiors particularly well. It sits naturally with pale timber, concrete, charcoal tones and minimalist spaces, where its restrained palette complements rather than dominates.
