Description: Frank O. Gehry is one of today's most important architects. Gehry likes to use unusual materials for his architecture and furniture and with the furniture series "Easy Edges" from 1972 he succeeded in lending such everyday material as cardboard a new aesthetic dimension. Although they appear unbelievably simple "Easy Edges" are constructed with the architect's care as well as being very robust and stable. Four models from the series - Side Chair, Wiggle Side Chair, Dining Table and Low Table Set - are now being produced.
Technical Description: Made of corrugated cardboard. Multiple curved structure of bonded cardboard, edges finished in hardboard. Contour consisting of approximately 60 layers of cardboard held together by hidden screws. Fibreboard edging.
