- More Info - This
chair was inspired by apple crates and the surprising strength Gehry noticed while
playing on them as a child. The name comes from a hockey term. The curved
ribbon like strips of wood make this chair look graceful and natural and the
back bends slightly making it feel more comfortable. It is made by laminating strips of maple veneer
to 5 or 7 thick with glue. Each chair comes
stamped with the KnollStudio logo, Frank Gehry's signature and the
date of production. There is also a version
with arms and seat cushions
available.
