Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center / Frank Gehry
This is Frank Gehry's latest project, a $100 million clinic for brain health in Las Vegas.
Much like the Philippe Starck "Louis Ghost Chair", the Aaron R. Thomas "Acrylic Lounge Chair" takes a modern twist on a design classic by re-envisioning it in acrylic. In this case, the classic is the Molded Plywood Lounge Chair, designed by Charles and Eames in 1946.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHJuNkB2HHwuWcO_VGCWZOPGXmJT2CMqNbRTUgeNbtVkTQGmE7vNzQ-uNFp1Qr3SBseucIhIbNMGpdkpKCTp6sZh5ZzCTk41uWODXgEOcC8nkRDDbbRjHQVJYAOooBFfF509e7Lw9gVvg/s400/features_slide_eames_molded_plywood_1.jpg)

In a 1956 cover story in Time magazine, Eero Saarinen said he was designing a collection to "clear up the slum of legs in the U.S. home." Later that year, he completed his Pedestal Table and Tulip™ Chair Collection. Even today this dinning table look sooo contemporary.
Would love to know who designed the standing herb planters? Very whimsical!
