1960’s Ball Chair

An iconic and original designer ball/pod chair, dating from mid 20th century. .

Has there ever been a cooler place to sit than the infamous ball chair?  Its shape would vary slightly, and so would its name: the “pod chair”, “globe chair” and “egg chair”. This innovative design gained popularity in the mid sixties as an ultra-hip addition to your space-age bachelor pad.  The ball chair came into being in 1963 (by Finnish furniture designer Eero Aarnio), then later on narrowed to an egg shape  (by Danish industrial designer Henrik Thor-Larsen). It’s featured in a host of movies & tv and remains a design classic to this day.

We are not sure of the maker of this particular model but it is a genuine period example. The structure itself is in good solid condition, it rotates on its base smoothly and as it should.
The original upholstery is tatty & well worn, most likely in need of reupholstery, depending on the buyers tastes. The outer housing also has cosmetic wear, marks, scuffs and could do with tidying up (please view photos) It is however comfortable and despite its timeworn appearance retains its beauty and is a truly special chair!
