Eero Aarnio Originals

Eero Aarnio is the Finnish designer and innovator responsible for some of the most recognisable and beloved design pieces of the last century. Eero Aarnio Originals is the sole licensed manufacturer of classic designs by Eero Aarnio. The purpose of the brand is to deliver the authentic experience of Eero’s most celebrated and cheerful classics from Finland. The corner stones of the brand are The Ball Chair, Bubble, Pastil and Pony, accompanied by constantly new designs and additions to the iconic collection.

For Eero Aarnio Originals the Finnish heritage is at the heart of the classics. The Helsinki-based company is focused on keeping the production and distribution up to date - sustainable and responsible. Honouring the Finnish legacy of Eero Aarnio classics the company’s aim is to hand- craft the majority of the collection locally in Finland. Many of the factories working with the classics have been part of the history of the iconic products for decades, resulting in both high quality as well as unique skills in fibreglass production and upholstering the signature items.

Eero Aarnio’s classics are among the most widely copied designs in the world. Due to the continuing normalisation of counterfeit production in furniture manufacturing, Eero Aarnio Originals has a big role and ambition to raise awareness and significance of original designs. To the manufacturer of these Finnish design classics, cherishing and emphasising the origin of the products is part of the brand’s identity.

The classics of the Eero Aarnio Originals -collection bring colour and joy with designs, which each have their own personality. Eero’s creations aren’t just pieces of furniture, they are characters in their own right. They are extraordinary because they have been designed in an extraordinary way: from a place of love and optimism, shaped by gut feeling, curiosity and imagination.
In the middle is of course soon 89-years-old Eero, the eternal idol and greatest inspiration, whose life’s creative work and imagination is encouraging to keep on dreaming and reimagining current conventions. Eero’s life-long career and the classics born along the way prove that you can grow old without growing up and enjoy your work, the colours and joy of creativity even after decades of a successful career.
