Pastil Chair Added by Eero Aarnio

Pastil Chair by Eero Aarnio 1967

The Pastil shape can be looked at from many angles. The initial idea could be the same as in a Screw Table i.e. the product shape comes from a small sweetie, pastil, but in this case the idea was, that a lot of empty, cushioned space is sent to the other side of the world inside the Ball Chair. A new round chair would fit in this space, and so the diameter of the Pastil is the same as the opening of the Ball Chair.
I made the first prototype out of polystyrene which helped me to verify the measurements, ergonomics and rocking ability.
