Eero Aarnio's Ball Chair

The Ball Chair was designed by Finnish furniture designer Eero Aarnio in 1963[1][2]. The Ball Chair is also known as the globe chair and is famous for its unconventional shape. It is considered a classic of industrial design. More recent versions have increased the overall size and added interesting features including music and MP3 player integration.
