The Ball Chair combines innovative design with its spherical white glass fibre shell that houses a comfortable upholstered interior. Its cocoon-like form provides an intimate seating experience, while the vibrant orange Hallingdal upholstery adds bold character. The chair features a breakthrough spherical construction that creates privacy and focus, and the glass fibre shell ensures durability with striking visual impact.
The 'Ball Chair' is iconic as they come. Conceived in 1963, Eero Aarnio's seminal classic continues to awe thanks to its familiar yet wholly innovative design. A breakthrough piece for the Finnish designer, the chair is defined by a spherical white glass fibre shell, within which lies a cocoon-like seat upholstered in orange 'Hallingdal', the first textile from Danish brand Kvadrat, designed by Nanna Ditzel in 1965. The result is a world recognised furniture piece that has graced homes and offices in addition to film sets, music videos and magazine covers.
