Frank Gehry

Frank Gehry was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada  in 1929. He had studied at the university of southern California and Harvard, before he created his first practice, Frank Gehry and Associates in 1963. Soon after, this practice was succeeded by the firm Gehry & Krueger Inc. His deconstructed architectural style began to emerge in the late 1970s when he was directed by a personal vision of architecture. He created collages like buildings as well as the ah-hoc pieces of functional sculpture.The reason why I have chosen Frank Gehry as an artist to study is because the two main chairs that he has created look so simple yet perfect and that is what intrigued me.

The chair on the right is very well ergonomically designed, for example the end of the chair where the knees rest on has a curve instead of just a straight 90 degree cut. This makes the chair more comfortable for the person to sit on without having any strain or pain under the knees.

Another reason why it is well designed is because of the back support. It also has a slight curve for your lower back to fall into which would automatically give the person good posture as well as relaxing and simply just leaning back.

All of the reasons above also cover the chair design on the left. I personally think that this chair would be slightly more comfortable because of the curve on the top of the chair where your head can fall back and comfortably rest on.
