Wiggle Chair

$395
$395 $855
Select Piece: Ottoman
Sculptural, Structural, Surprising

Frank Gehry’s 1972 “Easy Edges” series transformed an ordinary material into a high-design statement. This is our take on the architectural original: the same fluid curves, same material integrity, and just as much visual impact—without the gallery price tag.

• Corrugated cardboard construction
• Smooth hardboard edge detailing
• Sculptural form, serious comfort
• Chair and ottoman sold separately
• Designed to last—despite appearances
Materials

Corrugated Cardboard
Multiple layers of durable corrugated cardboard are stacked, cut, and shaped into the chair’s signature curves. It's lightweight, strong, and flexible enough to form a comfortable seat.

Hardboard Edges
Each side is finished with natural hardboard panels that add structural integrity and visual refinement. No dye or finish—just the raw material with slight tonal variation.
Design

S-Shape Silhouette
The distinctive undulating profile isn't just striking—it offers real ergonomic comfort by supporting the natural curve of your spine.

Modular Pairing
Use the chair and ottoman together or apart. Each piece stands alone but together, they create a sculptural lounge moment.

Material as Statement
Originally conceived as a design provocation, the use of cardboard here is not a gimmick—it’s a deliberate play on perception, mass, and function.

Questions About The Wiggle Chair

How long until I receive my order?

The Wiggle Chair arrives approximately 3-4 Weeks from the day of order.

Our products take longer to arrive than most others on the internet. But there's a good reason why. Most of our pieces are made to order and ship directly from the source. We don’t keep warehouses or carry excess inventory. This is how we cut costs and pass thousands in savings back to you. But it also means you have to wait a bit longer.
What is your return policy

The Wiggle Chair can be returned after receiving the order if the product is damaged or unusable.

Our products are made to order. So we cannot offer returns for changes in preference. But we always do what we can to make it right.

To be returned, products need to be completely unused and still in their original packaging.
How can I track my order?

The Wiggle Chair ships within 7 Days of order placement.

Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an email with tracking details, allowing you to monitor its progress. Simply use the provided tracking information on our delivery partner’s website to stay updated on your shipment.

Judge us by our looks

Our packaging is safe, simple, and proudly no frills. We don't think it makes sense to pay for things you throw away immediately.

That's why the Wiggle Chair ships in the same protective packaging the manufacturer uses, covered in functional stickers and foreign stamps showing the journey it's been on.

We don't hide it and wear it as a badge of honor for the places our products have been and the people who made them.
