Wiggle Chair

Filed under: Decor

Looking like it's been poured into position, the Wiggle Chair was designed by architect Frank Gehry back in 1972 as part of the "Easy Edges" series that incorporates unusual materials, such as cardboard, in furniture. Comprised of approximately 60 layers of cardboard held together with hidden screws and a fiberboard edging, the complete "Easy Edges" series includes (in addition to the Wiggle Chair) a Side Chair, Dining Table, and Low Table Set. Made in Germany for Vitra, the Wiggle Chair is available in natural or white edge finishes and goes for $875.

We've seen more and more spas that focus on wine recently as well as grape extracts popping up in skin care by companies like Caudalie and Davi, the new Mondavi skin care line. The most recent and lavish wine spa is the Frank Gehry-designed Marqués de Riscal in Spain. Forbes Traveler has rounded up a list of ten spas that offer vinotherapy treatments for your body as well as delicious wines to nourish your interior. Most of the spas listed are located outside the U.S. spanning the globe from Argentina to Australia to South Africa to France. The Kenwood Inn and Spa in Sonoma, California is a villa-style hotel with a Caudalie spa that offers treatments such as a Sauvignon massage, a Merlot wrap and a crushed Cabernet scrub. Two-night winter spa packages start at $955 double occupancy.

Filed under: Dining

Designed back in 1992 by Frank Gehry, Alessi's Pito Water Kettle must be one of the most beautiful, functional kettles on the market. It is made out of mirror polished steel and has an organic, almost fluid, curve to it. Both the handle and whistle/spout are made of carved mahogany wood. It measures just 7.25-in. across and stands 7.25-in high. Price: $400.
