Product description
This large fiberglass sphere mounted on an aluminum swivel base has become an emblem of 60s design. This famous armchair, known as the "Ball" or "globe", is renowned not only for its design but also for its comfort: the seat is covered in fabric foam, creating a calm atmosphere and offering a secluded space in which to relax. Designed in 1962 by renowned Finnish designer Eero Aarnio, who devoted his life to industrial and interior design. Aarnio constantly sought to simplify the lines and structures of his creations. The Ball, in the shape of an astronaut's helmet, was inspired by the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union, announced by President John F. Kennedy and culminating in 1969 with the first man on the moon. This geometrically shaped armchair is therefore futuristic. It owes its success more to fashion than to its real functionality, as it became part of American culture and homes in the 1950s. Eero Aarnio left his mark on the times with his designs, winning the AID (American Industrial Design) prize in 1968.
