Anne DeCocco Well I haven't found it, but I did have a great time looking. If you click on "more info" you'll find links that lead you to fun sites. I didn't try Ikea, that might be a possibility, too!
Eero Arnio created the Ball chair in 1966 - just a few years after the Jetsons made their prime time debut. To my eye, the shape and white/color combo perfectly capture the future-centric vibe of the time. Here, I love the combination of the deep pinkish red with the cool, slightly spacey blue wallpaper. Plus, the retro phone is a funny reminder that those imagining the future got a few details wrong.
Aarnio designed this chair, the Ball Chair, before conjuring up the Bubble Chair. He said, "I wanted to have the light inside it and so I had the idea of a transparent ball where light comes from all directions." Hence, the idea for the Bubble Chair was born.
If the classic Egg Chair is a bit too bland, an Eero Aarnio Ball Chair is a very Gaga-esque nesting place for her to brood over her latest concept. (Although the Womb Chair might be a more appropriate fit, for those of you who've seen her "Born This Way" video.)
Few things say 1960s mod more than Eero Aarnio's Ball Chair. A simple molded form and bright color combine to create a chair that's also a "room." Current models are available with a built-in MP3 player, perfect for when you want to get away — but not too far.
This ball chair is a modern 20 Century classic and gave birth to the Bubble Chair that was introduced 2 years later at the International Furniture Fair in Cologne. Euro Aarnio is the original designer.
