Pop art is alive!

The outer shell of this distinctive model becomes a work of art … your work of art! Your own color? Logo? Or a full-surface design? Designing in the three-dimensional curved space of the globe poses particularly high demands but also demonstrates the virtually limitless possibilities of these special products. The Globe Chairs can even resemble a bowling ball or a billiard ball, much like our strike Bowling Chair and pool Billiard Chairs.
Sometimes the globe chair makes an extravagant statement, other times it remains subtly understated. Sometimes it impresses with effortless charm, other times with a trendy message. Sometimes it dazzles with natural elegance, feminine grace, or cool strength. This allows it to harmoniously blend into any environment while maintaining its timeless, classic flair. It’s entirely up to you: Depending on the chosen color and upholstery materials, these round upholstered globe chairs can either merge with their surroundings or stand out.
All art globe chairs and seats are round like a sphere – the purest form we know. Like the sphere, this globe chair or ball chair has no corners or edges, just a continuous outer surface. This makes it unique and an absolute eye-catcher in upscale interior design: a calm oasis in public spaces, a luxurious Pop Art chair, and a timelessly elegant design object.
This spherical chair is formally reduced to the essentials and impresses with its clear, simple beauty. Yet, it is anything but boring! Mounted just above the ground on a round metal base, the globe chair can rotate completely around its own axis, allowing for a varied view.
Everyone knows the iconic Ball Chair by Eero Aarnio. Created in the 1960s, this then-revolutionary and unconventional chair design has retained its modernity to this day. Eero Aarnio’s original design continues to enjoy great popularity. With its simple, distinctive shape and bold colors, it remains a symbol of the optimistic, consumer-oriented pop culture of the 60s.
The original lillus art globe chairs and seats proudly follow this tradition. These globe chairs – also known as Ball Chairs or Sphere Chairs – are life-sized spheres for sitting. Their form is simple and distinctive. Their colors are often bold, but can also be understated if desired. While the matte or glossy lacquered sphere appears futuristic and cool on the outside, it hides cozy, soft cushions inside.
How does it feel to sit in a sphere? Surprisingly comfortable! This is the experience most of our customers have when they sit in one of our expressive spherical chairs or seats for the first time. What makes our globe chairs so special? It’s the combination of timeless form and functional utility.
The unique shape gives the round chair a special dynamism. With its extravagant aesthetics, it stands out from the commonly seen shapes of lounge or upholstered chairs. At the same time, the globe chair embraces the person seeking rest with its open design and provides exactly what is needed: pure relaxation. The chairs offer so much comfort that one might not want to get up again.
The globe chair fits perfectly in a private living room, public waiting areas, executive offices, lounges, or hotel lobbies. No matter where it is placed, its effect is always the same: it brings a smile to the faces of visitors, patients, or clients.
Welcome to our world of globe chairs! Art globe chairs represent timeless design and functionality. They invite guests and visitors to sit and experience their surroundings from a new perspective. In a world where aesthetics and function go hand in hand, globe chairs set an impressive standard for contemporary space design.
With globe chairs, both private and public spaces become stages for striking aesthetics and inspiring design. They serve not just as seating but as true works of art. The gentle curves and organic shapes of these pieces evoke minimalist sculptures and seamlessly integrate into various design concepts. From stylishly minimalist to futuristically inspired, globe chairs are highly versatile and fit a wide range of interior styles.
They create an inviting atmosphere that encourages lingering. Their structural elegance provides a pleasant balance between openness and privacy, making them perfect retreats in bustling environments.
Lounge chair, bar stool, swivel chair, dining chair, counter chair? It’s all the same to us! These globe chairs come in 2 sizes, making it easy for designers and architects to incorporate the unique sphere into any space.
Depending on the space requirements and the desired seat height, we use either shells with a 87 cm diameter or those with a 63 cm diameter. The smaller version is perfect for situations where space is limited. Available with either a swivel base or a fixed base… Let us advise you on all the options!
Our special ball chairs are companions for the long haul. We understand the responsibility that comes with them. For this reason, they are still crafted in the traditional manner here in Germany. They are handcrafted seating furniture, meticulously assembled from numerous components and imbued with a multitude of artisanal details tailored to our clients’ needs. By hand. In a small upholstery workshop in the heart of Germany.
Our commitment to personalization and quality leaves no room for assembly line production. Thus, craftsmanship at the highest level, stringent quality standards, and an utmost attention to detail define the fabrication of each chair. Our upholsterers are masters of their craft. The spherical form demands a sophisticated upholstery technique rooted in a wealth of knowledge and experience, which is integrated into every lillus ball chair.
Before the process begins, you alone determine how your ball chair will be upholstered, which materials and colors we will employ. Whether it’s in the colors of a sports team or a company, whether with or without a logo. Only then does the actual production process commence.
