Fantastic vintage Mid-Century Modern red polystyrene original Pastil ergonomic rocking chairs by Eero Aarnio for Asko, a pair. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that these are vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. The bottom of each chair has some scratches from use. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa,1960s. Now THIS is SPECTACULAR SEATING!!!!! We have a pair of bright red Eero Aarnio Original ergonomic rocking seats designed and manufactured in 1967!!! Ok folks… we have a SERIOUS gamer in-staff… We’ll call him “Randy” who had the pleasure of testing out the comfort of these ergonomically appealing chairs… and let me tell you… this guy “Randy” is the Real Deal… an O.G. (Old Skool Gamer) and he KNOWS his stuff!! And his professional gaming opinion on these chairs is that they are very comfortable and “great for gaming!” The arm position aesthetics are comfortable for clutching and moving your game controller and they’re nice and low to the ground so they’re easy to jump out of while you’re screaming at the television and your gaming buddies on the other end of your headset! LOL! They are also comfy while leaned back, holding a book, and reading or just sitting back and lounging. The chair oscillates and rocks in all directions and they are one of the only chairs designed by Eero Aarnio which he designed to be suitable for indoor or outdoor use. They are comprised of bright red polystyrene and believe it or not… this chair can float on water! We do not recommend floating down the river while sitting in these beauties but if for some unfortunate reason you should endure a flood in your home, you don’t have to stop playing your game! At least until you lose power… HAHAHA!! Seriously, the design and materials are just that good and sustainable. As a matter of fact, in a 1968 article by the New York Times they reported the design as “an ideal design for the human body.” If you have a game room, this pair of chairs is a MUST, but they will also be fantastic in the living room across from the sofa, in the family room for a fun spot to rock the grandkids, or out on the back patio or lanai. They’re radically red, ridiculously comfortable, “Randy” approved, and THEY ROCK!! Eero Arnio is above all an innovator and creator of some of the most recognizable and most loved furniture of the twentieth century. He and his family lived in Lauttasaari which is a small island adjacent from Helsinki, he has a laboratory there where he spends time drawing and designing. He is best known for his iconic Ball Chair, Bubble Chair, Pastil, Pony, and Double Bubble. He designed the original Pastil chair in 1967 and in 1968 he received the American Industrial Award for the chairs comfortable shape and unique aesthetic. Mr. Aarnio himself believes that the design and ergonomics are so good that they don't need cushions. The New York Times also reports that "Pastil has the ideal design for the human body. Asko was purchased in 1999 and is now known as The Indoor Group Ltd. His best-known projects were transferred in 2016 to a newly founded Finnish company managed by design entrepreneurs but the “iconic” pieces sell with an “Eero Aarnio Originals” label. Asko was founded in 1918 by cabinetmaker Aukusti Asko-Avonius as the Lahti Joinery Factory. Asko worked with Finnish Production and Design Company and well-known designers in the mid-20th century including Ilmari Tapiovaara, Tapio Wirkkala, and Eero Aarnio. Asko acquired ABB Cylinda in 1988 and changed their name to Asko Appliances and in 2014 Asko Appliances AB moved the head office to Lidkopping, Sweden. They continue to produce high quality, durable products with innovative solutions. This is an AWESOME pair of ORIGINAL Eero Aarnio Pastil...
