Eero Aarnio Ball chair, in all its splendour and roundness

A designer as well as a photographer and graphic designer, Eero Aarnio created his own design agency in 1962 at only 30 years old. In the beginning, Eero Aarnio worked mainly with natural and artisanal materials. However, he quickly preferred to use more modern and technological materials, such as plastic. 

Created in 1963 by the Finnish designer Eero Aarnio, the Ball chair became a revolution in furniture. Halfway between a piece of furniture and an architectural object, ‘the Ball Chair’ or Adelta Ball Chair was an icon of pop culture in the 1960s.

Eero Aarnio literally ‘lived’ the Ball chair before creating it. According to him, it had to fulfil a need and that’s what he created. In 1962, he noticed that there were no large comfortable armchairs that could furnish his apartment. Through his research and designs, the Finnish designer focused on a hollow sphere whose width did not exceed that of a door. Eero Aarnio was committed to designing a prototype for himself. Then the large companies spotted the artistic potential of the Eero Arnio Ball chair, offering it a privileged place in furniture design!
