Gehry Left Twist Cube by Heller
Date 2004 | Frank Gehry
Architect Frank Gehry is known for his twisting, unconventionally shaped buildings. Our founder Alan Heller was known for his ability to see things others couldn’t. When Heller approached Gehry and said, “We can take your architecture and turn it into furniture,” the result was pure magic.
Best of Show winner at Neocon 2004, the Gehry Left Twist Cube is a sculptural monolithic form that can be used as a stool, bedside table, end table, shower bench, ottoman, or coffee table – indoors or out – adding a touch of playful Gehry architecture to commercial, residential, and institutional settings. Fully weatherproof, it’s available in a “Gehry bouquet” of colors inspired by the architect’s flower sculpture for French artist Sophie Calle. The colors had the unexpected effect, Gehry says, of inspiring his firm to “put more color into our architecture.”
This hollow single-piece form features consistent wall thickness and stress-free outer corners for supreme resistance to breakage. It weighs 15.87 pounds, but if you’d like to add sand for even more wind resistance, there is a hole with removable plug on the underside. We recommend using dry play sand that can be purchased at most hardware or landscape material stores.
