Growing up in a Polish-Jewish family in Toronto, Ontario during the 40s taught Ephraim Owen Goldberg that creativity could come to life, using almost anything. Scraps of wood, pieces of corrugated steel and leftover chain link fences worked nicely for the would-be architect. Known today as Pritzker Prizewinner, Frank Owen Gehry, his work continues to fascinate the world in dramatic, influential designs of buildings and modern furniture.
Deconstructivist architecture, or DeCon, is often mentioned when making reference to Frank Gehrys architectural designs. Apart from the culturally inherited universality of form, his work outrages some who practice stiff, selected standards. To Gehry, everything does not have to be constructed with a T-square or conservative materials. Sleek and intriguing with a hint of magic and fun makes a Gehry creation stands alone. A graduate of the University of Southern California's School of Architecture, along with the study of city planning at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, prepared Gehry to fully understand and extend his colossal ideas.
Sculpture, household items, furniture and even jewelry are other areas that employ much of Gehrys time with design ideas. Often referring to creating new lines of furniture as his quick fix, Gehrys first furniture collection debuted in 1969 and was made out of cardboard. Next came the Bentwood Furniture line, naming each piece after a different hockey team, his favorite pastime. His latest line is presented by Heller and consists of modular sections perfect for moving about but very attractive and comfortable.
Gehry seems to have an insatiable appetite for creating new designs more fascinating than the last. Some of his memorable work includes the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, California, USA, and the Gehry Tower in Hanover, Germany. Present jobs in progress, added regularly, include Guggenheim Abu Dhabi (GAD), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates and the Untitled Five Star Hotel & Event Center in Lehi, Utah, USA.
Gehrys latest furniture line by Heller is quickly gaining popularity in the international world because of the interchangeable uses, timeless appearance and uniqueness of style. Well build with an emphasis on coil aberration and flexible fabric; little care is necessary in placing the collection of lightweight cubes, benches, chairs, sofas and tables in several different settings.
Gehry is all about being yourself and living life in a creative, spontaneous way that triggers the mind to notice things outside of the norm. A collection of Gehry modern furniture is just the right way to begin a journey toward freedom. - 15252
