the little beaver is one of gehry's legendary experiments with corrugated cardboard. Building on his "easy edges" series from the 1970s, gehry further developed the idea, creating the so-called "experimental edges"—sculptural furniture made of layered corrugated cardboard.

with its characteristic, organically rough form, the little beaver is far more than an ordinary chair: it appears more as a sculptural design object, while remaining fully functional as seating. The unusual materiality and striking silhouette make it a particularly compelling example of experimental furniture design from the 1980s.

the chair is in age-appropriate vintage condition with an appealing patina and signs of wear. Especially with furniture made of layered corrugated cardboard, slight changes and traces of the past decades are part of the object's history and authenticity.

the original vitra brass plaque has been lost over the years. The recess for it is clearly visible on the furniture.
