The Pros:Adds an element of privacy for reading books or talking on the phone. Unique ball shape and styling available in a wide variety of colours. Chair easily spins a full 360 degrees.

It's easy to picture the inspiration behind Eero Aarnio's ball chair - the ball itself. The ball chair has been described as a 'room within a room' since it encompasses its sitter in a cozy environment that is almost independent of its surrounding.

The ball is made from fiberglass with upholstered interior. The chair spins on its axis, offering the sitter a view of the room in every direction.
The original designer of the ball (or globe) chair is Eero Aarnio, a famous Finnish designer who is known for taking conventional shapes and using them in unconventional ways. The ball chair has been seen in numerous movies, usually science-fiction, and further illustrates the ingenious design of the chair.
