Chair #300




PRETZEL CHAIR
—Designed by Norman Cherner

This classic mid-century molded plywood chair must have seemed way ahead of its time. Do you see those sexy curves on this chair? Incredible. Delicate yet sturdy. Love the shapely hourglass chair back. This chair is not to be confused with the George Nelson Pretzel chair, which has a totally different back. See next posting (chair #301). Which Pretzel chair came first, Nelson's or Cherner's? Does anyone out there know?
