Note: One of the most celebrated architects of the second half of the 20th century, Frank Gehry has made a career of pushing boundaries and questioning what architecture can do. Gehry created his bentwood furniture collection, including the Cross Check Chair, for Knoll in 1992. Inspired by the surprising strength of the apple crates he played on as a child, Frank Gehry created his thoroughly original collection of bentwood furniture. The ribbon-like designs transcend the conventions of style by exploring, as the great Modernists did, the essential challenge of deriving form from function. (Knoll)
