Furniture Design Question?
Quick question..
I should actually know this, but I’m going nuts looking for these particular chairs that were designed in the 50’s or 60’s. They were popular during the LeCorbusier, Knoll, Noguchi, Van der Rohe, Nelson, Eames, and Breuer era.
Let me describe the chairs one is white. It actually looks like an egg that’s been cracked and you can sit in it. The other is clear and looks like an egg and hangs on a chain from the ceiling.
Does anyone know the original designer? I’m driving my boyfriend nuts because I’ve been trying to figure this out all morning.
Please help.
ok well the “egg” chair was originally designed by Arne Jacobson. BUt i am pretty sure that its not what you are talking about.

the hanging chair..the clear plastic ones are called Eero Aarnio Bubble Chairs. Super expensive and had to find now and days.

And i think this is what you are taking about, i am not sure who originally designed it…i need to do some more research! These are modern remakes…
