Eero Aarnio

(Finnish, born 1932)

Eero Aarnio is a Finnish designer. Best known for his mid-century Modern seating furniture, Aarnio’s innovative plastic and fiberglass chairs remain iconic signifiers of 1960s style. Born on July 21, 1932 in Helsinki, Finland, he went on to study at the Institute of Industrial Arts before establishing his own interior and industrial design firm. Aarnio quickly began producing his signature pieces, notably 1963's Ball Chair, a spherical form fashioned with an indention in which to sit, and its twin, the Bubble Chair, a clear plastic swing suspended from the ceiling. His work is futuristic, often manufactured using materials and technologies that were brand new for their time, and his designs often contain a humorous element that referenced popular culture or the natural world. Later in life, Aarnio branched into toy design, creating Minimalist representations of animals and trees in his characteristic style. Today, many of his pieces are held in museum collections around the world, such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, and The Museum of Modern Art in New York.
