Born Ephraim Owen Goldberg in 1929, a young boy discovered that almost anything could be molded into beauty; be it pieces of chain link fence, wood scraps or tossed aside corrugated steel. This creativity followed Goldberg into his adult life when he changed his name to Frank Owen Gehry. Still amazing the world with the impossible and intriguing designs of buildings, sculptures, jewelry and modern home furniture, Gehry does what he loves.

Deconstructivist architecture, or DeCon, is often mentioned when making reference to Frank Gehrys architectural designs. Apart from the culturally inherited universality of form, his work outrages some who practice stiff, selected standards. To Gehry, everything does not have to be constructed with a T-square or conservative materials. Sleek and intriguing with a hint of magic and fun makes a Gehry creation stands alone. A graduate of the University of Southern California’s School of Architecture, along with the study of city planning at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, prepared Gehry to fully understand and extend his colossal ideas.

Although busy with structural architecture, Gehry has always enjoyed smaller details offered in jewelry, household items, sculptures and furniture. His first line of furniture debuted in 1969 and was called Easy Edges, constructed out of cardboard. In 1992, the Bentwood Furniture line was released. Most recently, a line offered by Heller, is making news in the scheme of a greener world by using environmentally safe materials. A permanent furniture collection by Gehry can be found at The Cooper Hewitt Museum in New York.

Gehry seems to have an insatiable appetite for creating new designs more fascinating than the last. Some of his memorable work includes the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, California, USA, and the Gehry Tower in Hanover, Germany. Present jobs in progress, added regularly, include Guggenheim Abu Dhabi (GAD), Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates and the Untitled Five Star Hotel & Event Center in Lehi, Utah, USA.

Destined to portray useful art without limits, Gehry never seems to run out of ideas. While most of us cannot exhibit first-hand one of his shimmering, international buildings or a rare fish sculpture located in front of the Fishdance Restaurant in Kobe, Japan, we can own a piece of Gehrys legend. His outdoor furniture line by Heller features benches, chairs, modern couches, tables and cubes for a personal collection of Gehry, close to none.

Travel doesnt have to be a deterrent in enjoying the beauty of this master of modern furniture design. An arrangement of delightful cubes and chairs on a patio or living area, dotted with sparkling, sun drenched photographs of Gehry building designs will turn your home into the trip of a lifetime.
