Frank Gehry is among the most acclaimed architects of the 20th century, renowned for his use of bold, postmodern shapes and unusual fabrications – his work includes the Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain.
He is also enjoying a major moment: his retrospective is in full swing in Paris and his architectural feat, the Foundation Louis Vuitton located in Paris, on the site of the Jardin d’acclimatation in the Bois de Boulogne opened recently.
And while we at MrDoveton.com focus on manly stuff we could not forego acknowledging Gehry’s recent design of a handbag for the Celeberating Monogram collaboration with LV.
Gehry has the ability to bring dynamism to an object… to create movement in something that is inert, he uses weird shapes and crazy angles – somewhat depicted in the architecturally fluid lines in his interpretation of the handbag.
