Laguna Beach design group CERNO just launched their line of plywood furniture at the recent FORD&CHING winter event earlier this month. Hundreds came to see the chair in the Kim Sing Theatre and were very surprised when the chair turned out to be incredibly comfortable despite it’s hard appearance. Design purists rejoiced at the thought: A visually innovative piece of furniture that was not an occasional, but a full fledged member of the living room.
Ladies Love Cerno
The lounger and ottoman are made from solid Baltic Birch plywood that is CNC milled and hand finished. The standard finish is a pre-catalyzed clear lacquer but there are a variety of other finish options. Price is a very reasonable $2,900 for the Lentus and an additional $500 for the ottoman.
Not a Lazy-Boy
The Lentus and the rest of the Cerno line is available now at the FORD&CHING showroom. Look out for our feature on the Cerno design crew in the next few days.
