Gehry" has been organized by the Walker Art Center in 1986 and has travelled the major American museums.

The Design

Inspired by the woven construction of apple crates from his childhood, Frank Gehry used an interwoven maple strip design to form the eye-catching Power Play Armchair and Off Side Ottoman. Combining strength and sturdiness with flexibility and comfort, the Power Play Armchair and Off Side Ottoman boast a truly unique appearance that have earned accolades from the American Society of Interior Designers and Time Magazine alike, among many others.
