Frank Gehry dining table

Frank Gehry, the ‘gratuitously eccentric’ architect behind the Guggenheim Bilbao gained attention in the 1970s with his ‘Easy Edges’ furniture series (1969-73). Constructed in corrugated cardboard and fibreboard, the line’s most emblematic designs include the Body Contour Rocker (1971) and Easy Edges Side Chair (1970). It is possible Gehry’s interest in found and everyday materials, was inspired by a childhood making cities out of scrap wood-chippings with his Grandma and a short spell designing chairs for army soldiers. He made his Santa Monica home, a deconstructivist work of art, from plywood, corrugated metal and chain-link fence.

This dining table in corrugated pressed cardboard exemplifies Gehry’s life-long design principles. It is elementary but distinctive, proportionate and speaks a language of fun utilitarianism – yet it is also very strong and durable. 

In good condition, with some light scuffs consistent with age. It comes with a protective cover for transport.
