Lot Details & Additional Photographs
1993, Knoll, white maple laminated bentwood with glued joints, marked to underside of seat.
33.5 x 28 x 24 in.
Inspired by the surprising strength of the apple crates he played on as a child, Frank Gehry created his thoroughly original collection of bentwood furniture. The ribbon-like designs transcend the conventions of style by exploring, as the great modernists did, the essential challenge of deriving form from function.
Some edge stains to some straps at seat; other areas of finish discoloration at arms and back rail; all joints feel secure.
