bubble chair by eero aarnio



An imaginative Finnish furniture designer named Eero Aarnio dreamed up three of the era's greatest hits: a space capsule for lounging, a soap bubble for swinging and a candy-colored pod for rocking. Radical at birth, they are no less startling today in "Pop Fantasies"
The futuristic Ball chair took off in the late 1960s.



"It's like a walk on the moon," Aarnio says. "It's a trip through my head."
