The Bernardo Plycraft chairs are a set of five beautiful and iconic chairs that represent the epitome of mid-century modern design. Among the set are two Pretzel chairs, which feature a unique and playful design that is instantly recognizable. The Pretzel chairs' curved and twisted wood frame provides a whimsical feel. The remaining three chairs are without arms & feature the same high-quality construction and design.
These chairs are particularly notable because they were discontinued due to the high cost of production. The costs associated with constructing these chairs, combined with the intricate design, made them an item that was out of reach for many consumers. This rarity only adds to their appeal, making them highly sought after by collectors and design enthusiasts.
One of the most famous images associated with the Plycraft chairs is Norman Rockwell's painting of himself sitting in a Pretzel chair. The painting, titled "Artist Facing Blank Canvas," features Rockwell sitting in the iconic chair, surrounded by his painting supplies. The image has become synonymous with the Plycraft chairs and is a testament to their enduring popularity and influence.
The Bernardo Plycraft chairs remain a beloved and timeless piece of furniture. The sleek design makes these chairs a must-have for any collector or design enthusiast. Whether you are looking to add some mid-century modern flair to your home or office, or simply appreciate exceptional design, the Bernardo Plycraft chairs are an excellent choice.
While these chairs may have some scratches due to normal wear and tear and stacking from the previous owners, they are still in overall good condition and should be able to be smoothed out. All except one chair has the Bernardo Plycraft sticker. One of the pretzel chairs has a screw missing in the back that should be able to be easily replaced. less
