Above: The Soap Chair represents a natural evolution in Aarnio's sculptural chair designs—it features a niche for a remote control or mobile phone. A bit of background: in the 1960s, Eero Aarnio began experimenting with plastics, vivid colors, and organic forms, breaking away from traditional design conventions.
Above: "The chair shape is based on a bar of soap that fits in the palm of your hand," Aario says. "It has soft corners and is surprisingly comfortable. It's manufactured in the same factory in Finland that has made all of my fiberglass products over the past 40 years, including the Ball Chair, the Tomato, and the Pastil."
