History of the Ball Chair:

By using one of the most simple geometric forms - the ball - cutting of a part and fixing it at one point Eero Aarnio(The designer) comes to a remarkable result - a completely unconventional shaped chair: a "room within a room" with a cozy and calm atmosphere, protecting outside noises and giving a private space for relaxing or having a phone call. Turning around its own axis on the base the view to the outer space is variable for the user and thus he is not completely excluded from world outside.

It was the creation of one of the most remarkable chairs in the furniture history of the 20th century. This first hand made piece is still standing in Eero's house. It was this first Ball Chair two young managers from the company Asko discovered when visiting Eero to see some pine wood designs. They were immediately impressed and convinced of the phenomenal design. It took a few years to get the chair into production. 1966 the Ball Chair was presented at the international furniture fair in Cologne. It was the sensation of the fair, the international breakthrough for Eero Aarnio and the start for a whole line of fibreglass designs by Aarnio- including the clear acrylic bubble chair in 1968.
