Paul Goldman, the owner of Plycraft, hired Norman Cherner. However, after Cherner turned in his design of this chair to Plycraft, he was told the project had been scrapped. Not long after, Cherner was in a furniture showroom in New York and saw his design for sale. Examining the label, he saw it was from Plycraft and was attributed to “Bernardo.” He sued Plycraft in 1961 and won; Goldman admitted that Bernardo was a fabricated name. Plycraft continued to produce Cherner’s chair, but Cherner received royalties and proper credit.
