Chair · Los Angeles
"Contour" Lounge Chair from the "Easy Edges" Line
Frank Gehry (American, born Canada 1929) · Los Angeles · Designed 1970; Manufactured 1982
This chair is part of a line whose designer, Frank Gehry, named Easy Edges. In 1991 Gehry recalled its origins: "[I got interested in paper furniture when] I was designing for department stores and had to invent display furniture that nobody really had to sit on, and then could be easily disposed of. I never really expected to sell these things until someone from Bloomingdale's saw them and suggested I develop them."
