Ball Chair
1963
“Well the idea probably came from our need at home for a chair that would be large
enough for both Pirkko and I to sit in together. And since I tend to simplify things, I
removed all the corners. My intention, once decided, was purely functional. To create
the most practical form for this new material (fiberglass) I was working with.
A sphere seemed the right shape for a strong and malleable material.”
