Bubble chair by Eero Aarnio

The Bubble Chair by Eero Aarnio is an iconic piece of mid-century modern design, originally introduced in 1968. It features a bold, futuristic form—a spherical shell suspended from above—crafted from clear acrylic that creates an airy, floating appearance. The transparent globe allows light to pass through from all angles, making the chair feel both spacious and weightless, despite its substantial structure.

Inside the sphere, plush cushions are upholstered in high-quality fabric or leather, providing comfort while emphasizing the chair’s modernist aesthetic. The cushions usually come in neutral or bold colors, contrasting with the clear shell. The chair hangs from a sturdy stainless steel chain attached to the ceiling, enabling a gentle, soothing swing when seated.

The 3D model is a detailed and faithful representation of Eero Aarnio’s original Bubble Chair. It captures the distinctive curvature of the acrylic shell, the soft contours of the interior cushions, and the metallic hardware. Ideal for visualizations in both retro and contemporary settings, the model offers a realistic portrayal of this timeless design classic.
