Part of Gehry’s iconic Bentwood Collection, the Cross Check Chair is constructed from interwoven strips of laminated maple, creating its distinctive sculptural and architectural form.
Inspired by the strength and flexibility of wooden apple crates, Gehry developed a structure that is both remarkably lightweight and strong, with flowing ribbons of wood forming the seat, back and frame.
A highly recognisable piece of 1990s design and an important example of Gehry’s experimentation beyond architecture.
