The Wiggle Side Chair, designed by Frank Gehry for Vitra, is an iconic piece of furniture that pushes the boundaries of material use. This 1972 design is part of the famous 'Easy Edges' furniture series, in which Gehry transformed everyday cardboard into a sculptural and surprisingly robust object. The flowing, undulating lines give the chair a dynamic appearance that is instantly recognizable in design history.
The chair is crafted from layers of corrugated cardboard, ensuring remarkable sturdiness and a unique texture. The sides are finished with a hardboard edge in a contrasting white color, emphasizing the S-shaped curve of the design. The natural brown of the cardboard combines beautifully with the clean white contours, creating a captivating visual contrast. The original Vitra label is present, confirming the authenticity of this collector's item.
The furniture is in good condition, commensurate with its age and material. The structural integrity has been fully preserved, while the cardboard has developed an authentic character that reflects the history of the piece. All patina or damage visible in the photos.
