The French-Canadian architect Frank Gehry designed the Vitra Design Museum near Basel, the Cinémathèque Française in Paris and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao to name a few. His creations attract visitors from all over the world. Named the most important architect of our time by Vanity Fair, he is known for his use of unusual materials. 

With his furniture series Easy Edges, he succeeded in bringing a new aesthetic dimension to such an everyday material as cardboard. The sculptural form of the Wiggle Side Chair makes it stand out. Although surprisingly simple in appearance, it is constructed with the consummate skill of an architect, making it not only very comfortable but also durable and robust. The Wiggle Stool is vaguely reminiscent of traditional African stools and, like the latter, makes a statement in any interior.
