Aaero Aarnio Ball Chair for Adelta 1980s
1980s Finnish Vintage Space Age Lounge Chairs
Fabric, Polyester
Vintage Space Age furniture captured post–World War II optimism with swooping shapes, bowed lines and experimentation with new materials including plastic and fiberglass.
From the launch of the Sputnik 1 satellite in 1957 to the landing of Apollo 11 astronauts on the moon in 1969, the space race between the Soviet Union and the United States propelled advancements in technology that transformed culture. Space Age design encompassed fashion, architecture, cars, furniture and objects for the home, bringing wonder and hope for the future into everyday life.
Coinciding with Pop art, Space Age style featured bold colors and forms. Eero Aarnio’s Ball chair, which debuted in 1966, used molded fiberglass for a capsule-like space while Verner Panton’s 1959 Panton chair was a single piece of molded plastic for a gravity-defying S shape. Red versions of Olivier Mourgue’s 1964 Djinn chair were futuristic enough to appear on the space station in Stanley Kubrick’s 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey. Today, Joe Colombo is revered as a master of modern Italian design thanks to the provocative modular furniture pieces he created, such as the Tube chair and the Elda armchair, both of which embody the future-forward spirit of the Space Age.
The Space Age spirit extended to home building too. The futuristic Case Study Houses, which were designed by the likes of Pierre Koenig, Charles and Ray Eames, Richard Neutra and Whitney R. Smith, are considered a high point of modernism and the Southern California lifestyle.
Sometimes the nods to space exploration were more literal, like moon and star motifs or the 1965 Eclisse lamp by Vico Magistretti that saw the mid-century Italian designer integrating a movable inner shade to “eclipse” the light source. Alongside the pioneering moon missions, JVC manufactured the Videosphere portable television reminiscent of the Apollo 11 space helmets.
Although the style faded in the 1970s — with the 1975 joining of the Apollo and Soyuz spacecrafts signaling a new era of cooperation and the global oil crisis impacting the availability of plastics — the era’s innovations influenced designers into the 21st century such as Zaha Hadid and Djivan Schapira.

Mid-20th Space Age Mod Ball Chair Style of Girasole Chair by Luciano Frigerio
Located in Topeka, KS
Awesome vintage Space Age Mod style ball chair in the style of the Girasole chair by Luciano Frigerio comprised of a white fiberglass resin ball seat & base and original orange microfiber or brushed polyester fabric. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Specifically, The fabric has quite a bit of fading, some snags, and a tear that’s been repaired; but we wanted to leave the covering on this great piece original and let the buyer make the decision whether to and what to recover in. A couple of small cracks in the pedestal base where it touches the floor have been repaired and the base repainted. We did not repaint the ball itself as we like the wonderful natural age patina; however, we can include the matching paint we used for the base if you choose to let us know. And the felt around the upper and lower rim of the base has been replaced. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, 1960-1970s. This chair is GROOVY BABY!!! Check out this totally RAD space age mod style orange ball chair...
