Original hanging chair by Eero Aarnio. Finland, Adelta, 1990s.
Large transparent acrylic glass seat shell with solid stainless steel frame and metal chain. The two loose cushions are made of Sørensen white leather from Denmark.
Eero Aarnio’s Bubble Chair, designed in 1968, is a striking example of futuristic modern design. Suspended from the ceiling, the transparent acrylic sphere creates a floating, cocoon-like seating experience that combines comfort with visual lightness. Inspired by Aarnio’s earlier Ball Chair, the Bubble Chair allows light to pass through, making it feel less bulky while maintaining a sense of enclosure. Its minimalist structure contrasts with its playful form, embodying the experimental spirit of late 1960s design. Today, the chair remains an icon of Scandinavian design, admired for its innovation, bold aesthetics, and enduring appeal in contemporary interiors.
Very good vintage condition with the usual signs of wear on the acrylic body.
