Respected as one of the typical designers of the modern age, the Finnish designer Eero Aarnio is accepted for building furniture designs that are both unusual and completed from synthetic materials. One of his works that is thought to be his most distinct is the Bubble Chair.

A like of its namesake, the bubble, the Bubble Chair is a chair that appears like a bubble. The chair shows a hollow spherical body made from clear acrylic resin, a synthetic material that identified for its clearness as well as for being light and shatterproof. Two silver fabric or vinyl cushions are built-in on the center, and a gleaming metal ring is positioned on the brim of the chair for added protection. And as a substitute of being on the ground, the Bubble Chair is hung up from the ceiling through a long metal chain.

The Bubble Chair was created by Aarnio in 1968 and is built commonly on his earlier “Ball” Chair design. With the Ball Chair’s vital and commercial success in the mid-1960s, Aarnio chose to re-invent its creation by adding lighting to its interior. This idea later developed into a absolutely new design of a transparent spherical chair that let light to pass through from all corners. With acrylic being the only appropriate material for such a design, Aarnio had an acrylic ball heated and blown. The preference for having the chair hanging| from the ceiling, on the other, was found on Aarnio’s belief that there was no “nice” way for the chair to have an average pedestal done from the same acrylic objects.

A like its Ball Chair counterpart, the Bubble Chair is identified to make an atmosphere of artificial calm, quiet, and isolation on people sitting inside it. The chair has also been often introduced on print, film and TV, with the most current being on the music video for the Black Eyed Peas song “I’ve Gotta Feeling”.
