Hat Trick Chair by Frank Gehry, 1992

• Designed By - Frank Gehry
• When - 1992
• Made From - Strips of hard white maple veneer
• Manufactured By - Knoll
• 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.
