ADELTA Ball Chair - Mod Livin'

The popularity of plastics in Finnish furniture design lasted from the late 60's to the mid 70's, and Eero Aarnio was at the forefront of the trend. With it's striking shape and bright colors, the Ball Chair serves as a symbol of the optimistic popular culture of the sixties. Equally apparent is Aarnio's enthusiasm for the whimsical: the Ball's dynamic exposed plastic shape seemingly reminding us of a space capsule. Riding the wave of nostalgia, Aarnio's classics oscillate between function and fun, achieving new heights of popularity with a new generation. Many of the Aarnio icons are included in the world's most prestigious museums, including the Victoria Albert Museum in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Fiberglass shell, 100% wool upholstery. We are happy to provide fabric swatches on request.
