ROULETTE
By Eero Aarnio
As Eero says, for all designers, the most common, interesting, and difficult object to
design is a chair. Chairs for the home usually have four legs, stools have three, and office
chairs have two or only one leg. Many plastic chairs don’t have legs at all instead the
body of the chair becomes the leg as well. When Eero started designing a chair for
VONDOM, he had this concept of the leg being a part of the body of the chair in mind, and
he also wanted to see what new could be accomplished with a rotation mold technique in
chair design. Because he has always been fond of rocking chairs and the round, rocking
shape is easy to achieve with the rotation mold, he ended up with a design that rocks in
all directions and also spins due to its contact with the ground at one point. The high
armrests give a sense of security when spinning the chair around and also provide good
support while sitting. He wanted to find an international name for the chair, which also
would immediately give the association for the spinning movement, and that’s why he
ended up with the name ”Roulette”.
