Anthony Hartley/Frank Gehry Controversy, Solved
Our post on Mr. Smith the Second chair by Anthony Hartley sparked a conversation about the chair’s noticeable resemblance to the iconic Wiggle side chair designed in 1972 by Frank Gehry.
Today the Chair Blog is ready to answer your questions, with the help of Mr. Hartley himself:
“Frank was the first chair I made with a reference to Frank Gehry’s Wiggle from the Easy Edges line. The Mr. Smith and Mr. Smith the Second reference the Paul Smith stripes.”
Big thanks to Anthony for stepping in and helping us out!

Mr. Smith the Second by Anthony Hartley
This multi-colored Mr. Smith the Second chair by UK furniture designer Anthony Hartley totally looks like a piece of some twisted candy, don’t you think? It’s not really made of candy though, Mr. Smith the Second is colored beech wood with a high-gloss lacquer finish!
