Designer furniture

Brilliant furniture designs Franks Gehry was born in Toronto, Canada. Franks Gehry is among the pioneering and inventive architects of the world today well as furniture designers. He relocated to Los Angeles with his family where he associated with contemporary artists. He graduated from the University of South California where he earned his undergraduate degree in architecture. Frank Gehry worked with firms such as Luckman associates, Pereira as well as Victor Gruen.

In Frank Gehry opened a small offices in Santa Monica where his scope grew to include office buildings, libraries, furniture and exhibition designs to mention a few. Sophisticated computer software introduction facilitated his translation from model work to built form. Having over 140 employees, Frank Gehry and Associates covers several different countries such as Switzerland, Spain, Germany, France, the United States Scotland, and Japan among others.

Frank Gehry’s architectural practice has had a lot of impact on his furniture designs. His furniture designs are fairly cheaper compared to other furniture designers. Frank Gehry is able to produce furniture that is not only functional but striking as well, from basic materials manipulated in very unconventional ways.

Between Frank Gehry created his first designs called Easy Edges, from simple corrugated cardboard materials that have turned out to be his favourite material for his models. Frank Gehry began manipulating cardboard sheets when he found out that the cardboard gained exponential strength when layered.

Frank Gehry manipulated the basic cardboard materials into curvilinear, graceful tables and chairs. His finished products were not only striking but immeasurably durable as well. Between Frank Gehry introduced the experimental edges, which were much bulkier cardboard pieces that had improvisational shaggy edges as well as featuring a rough appearance.

Frank Gehry created larger volumes of the furniture by using thick corrugated cardboard with pronounced texture, as well as altering their density by combining sheets of different widths within a single form. Frank Gehry created the undulating line as well as slight ripples by intentionally misaligning their stacks. Frank Gehry manufactured the Bent Wood Furniture design, whose initial prototypes that were meant for Knoll had serpentine lines of the initial Easy Edge collection. The Bent Wood Furniture material as well as the structural support were inspired by the seamless integrated bushel basket.

Frank Gehry was given an opportunity to conduct an intense investigation of the maple wood as well as its production process at a workshop that was right next to his office. Four chairs, two tables as well as one ottoman were marketed out of the prototypes that were developed from the investigation.
