Studio Eero Aarnio | Iconic Design Pieces

The Finnish designer Eero Aarnio (b.1932) is one of the great innovators of modern furniture design. In the 1960s, Eero Aarnio began experimenting with plastics, vivid colors and organic forms, breaking away from traditional design conventions. His now iconic plastic creations include the Ball (1963), the Pastil (1968), and the Bubble (1968) chairs which echo the pop culture and spirit of their time. Many of Aarnio's works are included in the world's most prestigious museums, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the MoMA in New York. The co-operation between Melaja and Eero Aarnio started in 2003 with the Double Bubble lamp, and the Studio Eero Aarnio collection has since grown yearly. The essentials of this collection include comfortable chairs, like the Keinu Chair and playful lamps, such as the iconic DoubleBubble, the stylish Swan and the surprising Flat Light – all reflecting pure Aarnio style.
