Frank Gehry Hat Trick Chair

Design Frank Gehry, 1992
Maple wood
Made in USA by Knoll

Inspired by the apple crates he had played on as a child, Pritzker Prize-winning architect Frank Gehry created the ribbon-like design of the Hat Trick chair with interwoven maple strips. The graceful design integrates material with structure, transcending all conventions of style. The simple, sturdy beauty of this unique chair makes for an ideal dining room addition.

Notes: Each chair comes stamped with the KnollStudio logo, Frank Gehry's signature and the date of production. Back of chair flexes for added comfort. Available with or without arms. Optional seat cushion, available in a variety of fabrics and leather.

Construction: Hard white maple veneers in 2"- wide, 1/34"-thick strips; all wood grains run in the same direction for resilience. Laminated to 5- or 7-ply thickness with high-bonding urea glue. Contoured seat constructed of cross-ply maple for rigidity. Glides are clear plastic with matte frost finish.
