Eero Aarnio is the Finnish designer and innovator
responsible for some of the most recognisable and
best loved pieces of furniture of the last century.
Fuelled by his lifelong enthusiasm for fresh ideas and
new ventures, we have brought these iconic designs
back to life under a new label, Eero Aarnio Originals.
At the heart of Eero Aarnio Originals is Eero himself.
Not just his designs but his family, his home, his
life. Through this new brand we are able to recreate
these stories in a new universe while remaining true
to the philosophy of the man himself. We are not just
making furniture: we are sharing the stories behind the
designs, issuing an invitation to discover Eero’s world.
Eero has become well known for pioneering the use of
plastic and fiberglass in furniture design, and his iconic
creations have led to a multitude of imitations. But we
are determined to reconnect the designs with their
founder, an endlessly innovative, imaginative creator
and craftsman.
Eero Aarnio pieces are each characters in their own
right, with their own life stories and personalities. They
have been designed from a place of love and optimism;
shaped by gut feeling, curiosity and imagination.
