Aarnio’s vision was to create a transparent ball where light comes from all directions. The Chair shares the Ball Chair’s cocoon-like design and special acoustics, which shield the individual from outside sounds, even in a crowded room. A feeling of freedom and weightlessness is achieved by mid-air suspension.
These attributes, along with the soft vinyl seat and backrest, offers the individual a private sanctuary. A place of peace, relaxation, and pleasant isolation. As eye-catching, fresh, and inviting today as when it was released more than 40 years ago, the Chair is an icon of modern industrial design.
