Product Details

Product Description

The 'Cross Check Chair' by Frank O. Gehry for Knoll boasts a unique design that sets it apart as a true masterpiece of structural and aesthetic excellence. Crafted between 1990 and 1992, this chair features a bent maple wood band construction that is artfully woven into itself. Bearing the distinctive mark of its creator underneath its seat, this chair was once produced by Knoll International, although it is no longer in production today. Widely celebrated as one of the key architects of the latter half of the 20th century, Frank Gehry has made a career out of constantly pushing the boundaries of what architecture can achieve. Having studied at UCLA and Harvard's Graduate School of Design, Gehry has held teaching positions at both Harvard and Yale while also earning a prestigious fellowship from the American Institute of Architects. His numerous awards and accolades include the highly-coveted Pritzker Architecture Prize, which he received in 1972. Throughout his illustrious career, Gehry has designed countless iconic buildings, such as the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, and the VItra Design Museum in Weil Am Rhein, Germany. In addition to his architectural achievements, Gehry also revolutionized the furniture industry with his collection of cardboard furniture known as Easy Edges, which helped to redefine the way that materials are used in furniture-making. His bentwood furniture collection for Knoll remains a testament to his visionary design philosophy, seamlessly integrating form and function in a way that is both striking and elegant.
