apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Over-designed and a bit silly. Much like Mr. Gehry's architecture.

TOTALLY UNIMPRESSED. Makes Michael Graves' "common" work look fabulous.

I prefer the ergonomic handle designed by Antoni Gaudí for the Casa Batllo in Barcelona. So much more thought went into it.

Not necessarily earth shattering. However, Frank Gehry has incredible talent and vision.

I like the way they look and they probably feel nice. I get the Gaudí one, but I don't think it's for everyone. Gehry's examples seem really simple and yet touchable. They may be a little hack, kind of ordinary for his stuff, but I get over it and think, that's a door handle I want to reach for, it's going to feel good. That's all I want. They're probably too expensive for that minor luxury.
