Eero Aarnio

Eero Aarnio born in Helsinki, Finland 1932 is one of the great designers of modern furniture design. In the 1960s he began to experiment with plastic, vivid colours and organic forms. Some of his plastic creations were the Ball chair 1963, the Pastil 1968, the bubble chair 1968. The New York Times said ´´The Ball chair and Pastil Chair are the most comfortable forms to hold up the human body.`` 

´´The Pastil shape can be looked at form many angles, the product shape comes from a small sweetie, pastil, but in this case the idea was, that a lot of empty, cushioned space is sent to the other sider of the world inside the Ball chair`` - Eero Aarnio.
