I have up for sale my real Vitra Wiggle Chair. Chair is made of corrugated cardboard and is manufactured by Vitra. It was manufactured in February 2000 and measures 14.5" wide and 33.5" tall. Chair has been used as just an accent chair and its not working for my remodeled living room so its time to get rid of it. It hasn't been sat on much but it does have one crack to the right side of the fibreboard end piece and it does "wiggle" a little bit, but it is an art piece and is intended to be looked as one. I can't remember the actual retail on it but it was around $1000 or more new.
COPIED SPECIFICATIONS:
Frank O Gehry (born Toronto 1929) is one of the world's most significant architects, best known for his now iconic Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao, 1993-1997. Gehry studied architecture at the University of California and at Harvard in the 1950s. In 1961 he established his own practice in LA and designed his series of corrugated cardboard furniture, the 'Easy Edges' series, between 1969 and 1972. This series, of which the 'Wiggle' chair is a part, derived its name from 'Edge Board', a material that Gehry developed based on glued layers of corrugated cardboard running in alternate directions. Strong, noise-reducing, environmentally sustainable and highly sculptural, the 'Easy Edges' seriesbrought Gehry overnight success as a furniture designer. The series has been manufactured by Vitra since 1986. Gehry also designed the Vitra Design Museum building and adjacent factory at Weil am Rhein in 1989.
