Ball Chair 3D Model
The Ball Chair, also known as the Globe Chair, is a modernist furniture design created by Finnish designer Eero Aarnio in 1963. The chair is known for its distinctive spherical shape, which provides a cocoon-like space for the sitter. The Ball Chair features a fiberglass shell, a swivel base, and a soft cushioned interior, which can be upholstered in various materials. The chair's design is characterized by its playful and futuristic look, and its emphasis on comfort and privacy. It is often used in living rooms, bedrooms, and other private spaces, and is a popular choice for those who want to make a statement with their furniture. The Ball Chair is considered a classic of modern furniture design.
Eero Aarnio
Eero Aarnio is a Finnish designer born in Helsinki in 1932, founder of his independent studio in 1962. He pioneered the use of plastics in furniture in the 1960s with the Ball Chair (1963), the Pastil (1967) and the Bubble Chair (1968) — pieces now in the permanent collections of MoMA New York and the Vitra Design Museum.
For Magis Me Too he designed the Trioli children's chair, a rotational-moulded multi-position seat. The 3D Model Unity catalog includes high-precision NURBS 3D models of Eero Aarnio pieces for Magis, available for Rhinoceros 3D.
Eero Aarnio Originals
Eero Aarnio Originals is a Finnish furniture company established in 2016 to produce the original designs of Eero Aarnio (born 1932, Helsinki), one of the defining figures of post-war Scandinavian design.
