Eero Aarnio Furniture

Finnish, b. 1932

“I always look ahead, never back,” Finnish design legend Eero Aarnio has been quoted as saying. A leading innovator of modern furniture design, Aarnio has long embraced a bold, playful, confident and colorful style several steps ahead of his time.

For his 1954 entrance test for the Institute of Industrial Arts in Helsinki, Aarnio created a whimsical painting of a man reading a newspaper in a red, curved chair whose silhouette foreshadowed Aarnio’s Ball chair of 1963. That spherical seat skyrocketed him to design fame, and decades later, it is still recognized as one of the world’s most futuristic designs.

Born in 1932 to a house painter and a seamstress, Aarnio has always had a cheerful disposition and an independent spirit. He went his own way early on: After just two years at Asko, the big Scandinavian furniture company that originally produced his Ball chair, Aarnio established his own studio in 1962.

Over the next decade, the young visionary made an indelible mark on the world. Open-minded and entrepreneurial, Aarnio embraced the aesthetics, materials and technologies of the Swinging Sixties, working with a new generation of plastics and molding them into fluid, organically shaped, brightly hued forms.

Introduced at the 1966 Cologne Furniture Fair, the pod-like fiberglass Ball chair soon adorned the homes of movie stars and royalty, graced magazine covers around the world and was featured in films and ads. The groundbreaking seat originally came in orange, white, black, yellow and red and could be ordered with a telephone installed in it. Yet this designer of the future, as he was known in the 1960s, has always insisted that he didn’t deliberately seek to be associated with the decade’s sci-fi aesthetic.

“I had no intention to create either pop or Space Age design — as many people label my work,” Aarnio declares in one of the essays included in Eero Aarnio — Designer of Colour and Joy, a book jointly created by the Design Museum and publisher WSOY to accompany 2016’s “Eero Aarnio” exhibition.

The show featured a number of Aarnio’s objects, including his iconic Ball, Pastil (1967), Bubble (1968), Tomato (1971) and Pony (1973) chairs. These were joined by lesser-known seating and other objects like the rattan Juttujakkara, or mushroom, stool (1960); the sculptural Double Bubble lamp (2000), with which Aarnio first explored the possibilities of rotation-cast plastic; and the three-legged Rocket (1995) and Baby Rocket (2006) stools, both parts of a collection produced by Artek after Tom Dixon, the company’s creative director from 2004 to 2009, discovered the original piece in Aarnio’s kitchen.

“Aarnio expanded the whole idea of what constitutes furniture,” explained Suvi Saloniemi, the Design Museum’s chief curator. “His significance as a designer is crystallized in the liberation of form that he has introduced by discovering the properties of plastic as the material of a designer. His furniture is sculpture-like and eye-catching, but the pieces are always utilitarian at the same time.”

Pair MCM Red Polystyrene Original Pastil Rocking Chairs by Eero Aarnio for Asko
By Eero Aarnio, Asko
Located in Topeka, KS
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...

    Whether or not Eero Aarnio Ball chairs are comfortable or not is largely a matter of personal opinion. When the chair debuted in 1966, the New York Times reporter who saw it at the International Furniture Fair in Cologne suggested that the seating on display was "designed more for laughs than for comfort." However, the distinctive chair brought Aarnio instant commercial success. Today, many people still find the inviting foam-filled fabric seat inside its molded-fiberglass orb to be as comfortable to sit on as it is pleasing to the eye.
