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 black 'Tonus 4', an updated version of Danish brand Kvadrat's Tonus, an elastic fabric designed by the late textile artist Nina Koppel. The result is a world recognised furniture piece that has graced homes and offices in addition to film sets, music videos and magazine covers.
