Aarnio intended this to be a rocking chair yet sitting in it is quite comfortable which also makes it a playful armchair. Aarnio designed the center of gravity in such a way that the chair rocks slightly, not excessively in any intended direction. This chair was awarded by the American Institute of Interior Designers in 1968 with an International Designers award.
Eero Aarnio, born in 1932, is a Finnish designer and professor who is considered by many as one of the pioneers and innovators in modern furniture design. Aarnio experimented and used a wide variety of materials such as plastic and fiberglass. He has created quite a few classics in Finnish modern design as the Ball chair, Bubble chair and Pastilli, most of these designed in the 1960s. Aarnio’s works can be found in a number of prestigious museums such as the MoMa N.Y. and Victoria and Albert Hall in London. Aarnio has also won a number of prestigious design awards such as the Red Hot Design award.
