Eero Aarnio: Ball Chair

Eero Aarnio Ball Chair

The Prisoner in a Ball Chair

The iconic "Ball Chair" design, or "room within a room," which debuted at the Cologne Furniture Fair in 1966, featured a black interior that has now been rendered in bold red. 

Finnish designer Eero Aarnio developed this piece because he wanted a chair that was large enough to accommodate both him and his wife Pirkko. 

Experimenting with what was then a new innovation -- fiberglass -- Aarnio decided that a sphere was the right shape for the strong yet malleable material.

You Are Number Six

I am not a number --- I am a free man.

Number Six is monitored heavily by Number Two, the Village administrator acting as an agent for an unseen "Number One". A variety of techniques are used by Number Two to try to extract information from Number Six, including hallucinogenic drug experiences, identity theft, mind control, dream manipulation, and various forms of social indoctrination. All of these are employed not only to find out about why Six resigned as an agent but to extract other dangerous information he gained as a spy. The position of Number Two is filled in on a rotating basis; in some cases, part of a larger plan to confuse Number Six, while other times as a result of failure for interrogating Six. A major theme of the show is individualism versus collectivism.
