The Rocket Stool is one of Eero Aarnio's designs. Eero Aarnio is one of the great innovators of modern furniture design. Credited with an array of distinct and visually striking designs, Aarnio has helped establish Finland in the international design market. In the 1960s, Eero Aarnio began experimenting with plastics, vivid colors and organic form, breaking away from traditional design conventions. His work has been said to have a communicative capacity and a psychological effect on the user and viewer. Crafted in solid oak and originally created for Finnish designer Eero Aarnio’s home kitchen, the bar stool has proved very popular since its introduction by Artek.
