I’m pretty certain that you saw that chiar before in a music video, advertising or in a Fashion magazine. Based on the notion of the Ball Chair the Bubble Chair is a reduction of that design. As Ludwig Mies van der Rohe said: Less is more! A masterpiece of reduction. Here are a few words from Aarnio (the designer of that chair), on how he came up with the concept : “ After I had made the Ball Chair I wanted to have the light inside it and so I had the concept of a obvious ball where light comes from all directions. The only suitable fabric is acrylic which is heated and blown into shape like a soap bubble. Since I knew that the dome-shaped skylights are made in that way I contacted the manufacturer and asked whether it

would be technically possible to blow a bubble that is bigger than a hemisphere. The reply was yes. I had a steel ring made, the bubble was blown and cushions were added and the chair was ready. And again the name was obvious: BUBBLE. “- Via – 3rings that is a post from the Freshome Magazine , who bring you the latest news in Interior Design, Decorating, Furniture and Architecture. obvious Ball Chair or Bubble Chair by Eero Aarnio
