The bubble chair was designed by Eero Aarnio in 1968. According to Eero’s notes, the bubble hangs from the ceiling because ‘there is no nice way to make a clear pedestal.’ It shares the same unique acoustics as the ball chair, a little cocoon that shields off the outside world.The hanging bubble chair is made from acrylic and solid stainless steel, and is available in four different leather options by Sørensen Leather.We are happy to provide you leather samples to help you decide the perfect color for your bubble.Dimensions: 103 cm width x 90 cm depth x 105 cm heightMaterials: Acrylic, solid stainless steel, natural leatherChain is 2 meters longAs a young boy Eero Aarnio had been fascinated by soap bubbles. In the city he had never made one but fleeing the war to the countryside he remembers blowing huge soap bubbles from a barn. The bubbles would take off with the wind and drift far away to the fields. The image of a field filled with transparent soap bubbles stuck with him.
