Frank Gehry is one of today's most important architects. Frank Gehry likes to use unusual materials for his architecture and furniture. With the series "Easy Edges" from 1972, he succeeded in lending such everyday materials as cardboard a new aesthetic dimension. Although they appear unbelievably simple "Easy Edges" are constructed with the architect's care as well as being very robust and stable. Approximately 60 layers of cardboard are held together by hidden screws with a fiberboard edging.
