Design by Eero Aarnio, 1963.
Fiberglass shell, upholstery.
Made in Finland by Adelta.
The Ball Chair was designed by using one of the most simple geometric forms: the ball. By lopping off one end and fixing it at one point Eero Aarnio comes to a remarkable result - a supremely unconventional chair. A Ball Chair is a 'room within a room' with a cozy and calm atmosphere, protected from outside noises it provides a private space for relaxing or a phone call.
The ball chair is something between a piece of furniture and a piece of architecture and at the same time embodies both the mobile and the established. I always wanted one of them. You can find them for sale at www.hivemodern.com
