Frank Gehry (Canada 1929-2025)


Frank Gehry “Easy Edges” wiggle chair by Vitra. Labeled underneath and in a very nice original condition. This example is a 1999 production.

The chair was designed in 1972 as part of Gehry’s famous Easy Edges series. It was reissued by Vitra from 1992 as the Wiggle side chair. Created by the renowned architect Frank Gehry this extraordinary chair challenges the conventional notions of form, material and structural dynamic. Crafted from layers of corrugated cardboard, the Wiggle Chair exhibits a delicate balance between strength and flexibility. Gehry’s signature aesthetic make it a standout piece in any space. The chair has a slight twist/lean from use but it has a good warm tone (…that recent production chairs do not have)
