Frank Gehry, Easy Edges Side Chair, Vitra

The Easy Edges Side Chair is part of the series through which Gehry explored the structural possibilities of cardboard. The layering and gluing of numerous sheets transform a humble, everyday material into a solid, lightweight, and fully functional structure. The Metropolitan Museum holds an example designed in 1969 and manufactured in 1971, while MoMA also documents versions dated 1970 and 1972.
