Dimensions: 40 x 43 x 40.6cm high

The architect Frank Gehry is known for his use of unusual materials. With his furniture series 'Easy Edges', he succeeded in bringing a new aesthetic dimension to such an everyday material as cardboard.
Designed in 1972, the sculptural form of the Wiggle Side Chair and stool makes it stand out. Although surprisingly simple in appearance, it is constructed with the consummate skill of an architect, making it not only very comfortable but also durable and robust.
Structure:Â Â corrugated cardboard.
Edges:Â Â hardboard.
Note:Â Â the hardboard panels are undyed and may therefore exhibit slight variations in their natural tone.
