- More Info - The
Ball Chair was designed by simple cutting off part of a sphere. It is a very
unconventional chair, especially for it’s time. Because there are sort of walls
around you when you sit in it, it is very cosy and is like a private space. It
is sometimes called the Globe Chair and is considered a classic of industrial
design. It was originally upholstered only in red fabric but now many colours
are available and other version such as ones with MP3 player integration have
been created. Larger ones have also been made however the original was designed
to be able to fit through a doorway.
