living room24 presents ‘the most remarkable chair in the history of 20th century furniture’

“Something between a piece of furniture and a piece of architecture”, the Ball Chair by Eero Aarnio holds court in the Vitra Design Museum as one of the singular most important furniture creations of the late 20th century and is now available from livingroom24, the virtual department store for the home presented by Designity Concept.

[ClickPress, Fri Nov 23 2007] Designed in 1963, the Ball Chair remains an iconic object, oscillating between fun and functionality and enveloping the user with the sense that they are cocooned in a room within a room.

The distinct and visually striking chair is almost an object d’art, exuding a contemporary air yet classic in form.. Daniel Klug, Managing Director of livingroom24.com said: “The Ball Chair makes a fascinating, eclectic addition to any room and carries with it a design heritage that makes it a covetable classic. With its use of one of the simplest shapes in nature, the chair provides a private space for relaxation and contemplation, shielding the user from the sounds and activities of the room at large.”

Like the 1963 original, the Ball Chair by livingroom24 is made of a fibreglass shell entirely upholstered on the inside, and mounted on a metal swivelling base. A range of colour combinations offer a choice of designs, with the exterior available in white, red, black and orange and interior upholstery in a rainbow palette of colours from subdued beige and neutral greys to luxurious purple, shocking lime green and deep bordeux.

Offering a cornucopia of covetable designs for the home, livingroom24 specialises in furniture from the Bauhaus classics époque and offers products of timeless elegance and beauty. Pieces by legendary designers including Le Corbusier, Eileen Gray, Eames Charles and Marcel Breuer sit side-by-side with beautifully crafted pieces hand-picked by a team of interior stylists.

The Ball Chair is priced at 1699 euros and includes a five-year manufacturer guarantee. Order online at www.livingroom24.com
