Knoll
Cross Check Armchair
Price € 9.784,00
The Cross Check armchair belongs to the Frank Gehry collection, distinguishable among many for the use of natural maple strips as the one and only basic material of each structural element. Except for the Face Off table, in fact, all the furnishings have a single finish glued with extra-strong glue after being assembled. The structural solidity is given by the process itself, necessary not only to give shape, but also to shape the curvilinear and continuous lines of each element. The result is unique objects, perfect in combining originality with a comfort that has nothing to envy to other seating for the living area.

Landed in the United States at the beginning of the ‘30s, Hans Knoll, a young German-born son of a furniture-maker in Stuttgart, proposed to import into the new continent the modern European design, contemporary heritage of the Bauhaus. Died prematurely, his work was continued by his wife, Florence Knoll, who succeeded in establishing lasting partnerships with some of the greatest exponents of the modernist movement. Few years later the Knoll Associates was founded. Today, Knoll is not only a company of re-selling historic furnishings of great artistic value, but continues to innovate by offering creations of the major international design brands both in the home area and in the office furnitures sector.Read more
Designed by
Frank Gehry
Frank O. Gehry (1929-) is an American architect of Canadian origins, the greatest exponent of the current of Deconstructivism. His "impossible buildings" leave anyone who observes them speechless, lost in the infinite game of disjointed volumes and apparently random geometries, disoriented by an illegible game of curved and oblique lines. A peculiar and amazing poetics, perfectly expressed in works such as the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein and the Wall Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, which earned him the victory of the Pritzker Prize in 1989, the highest world recognition for an architect. He is the bearer of an equally surprising taste for unusual and apparently poor materials, both in architecture and in his few design projects, made with Knoll and Vitra, where he gives life to furniture made with cardboard or with thin strips of maple wood.Read more
