High Sticking™ Chair

High Sticking™ Chair
Designed by Frank Gehry, 1990

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.

Construction and Details

  • Thermo-set assembly glue provides structural rigidity without the need for metal connectors

  • Clear plastic glides with matte frost finish included
  • The underside of each piece is embossed with the Knoll logo and Frank Gehry’s signature
