The bubble chair was designed by Finnish furniture designer Eero Aarnio in 1968.[1] It is based on his Ball Chair.[2] The main difference is that the Bubble Chair is attached to the ceiling with a chain, while being made of transparent material which lets the light inside from all directions. The acrylic is heated and blown into a round shape like a soap bubble, within a solid steel frame.[3] It is considered[by whom?] an industrial design classic and to have advanced the usage of plastics in furniture design.[4] The chair is considered modernist or Space Age in design and is often used to symbolize the 1960s period.[5]
