Softly upholstered, the organic form is enveloped in refined materials such as premium fabrics, velvet, bouclé or leather, creating a warm and luxurious aesthetic – inviting, timeless, and of exceptional quality. All upholstery materials are selected in close collaboration with you, ensuring that visual appeal, tactile experience and everyday durability are perfectly aligned.
Upholstered Ball Chairs in Your Desired Colour

Logo & Branding
Looking to personalise your upholstered ball chairs? No problem. Corporate or brand logos, names, or personal signatures can be applied individually – for example as embroidered detailing on the exterior.

The Fascination of the Ball Chair
Distinctive in form, inviting in character and exceptionally comfortable: the rounded shell of the lillus upholstered ball chair envelops the sitter, creating a sense of privacy and ease. Inspired by the sphere – the most fundamental of geometric forms – these chairs are conceived without edges or corners, resulting in a soft, sculptural presence. This makes each ball chair a striking focal point in refined interiors. Depending on materiality and colour, upholstered ball chairs can either integrate harmoniously into private and public spaces or serve as a deliberate design statement. Whether in a living room, hotel lobby, reception area, executive office or VIP lounge, they elevate interiors through traditional upholstery craftsmanship and a deep commitment to design.
Creativity, Comfort and Individuality in Spherical Form
lillus designer ball chairs combine distinctive aesthetics with relaxed seating and complete design flexibility. Each piece is made to order: upholstery, colour, materials and base options are defined entirely by you. Whether luxurious, contemporary, classic or concept-driven, the chair adapts to your vision – or becomes a focal point by design. Through carefully selected materials, colours or branding elements, each chair integrates seamlessly into architectural concepts and brand identities. For projects as individual as the people and brands behind them.
Handcrafted Upholstered Ball Chairs from Germany
The ball chair is a design classic, shaped by the space-age aesthetic of the 1960s and icons such as Eero Aarnio. lillus upholstered ball chairs continue this legacy – expressive, sculptural and intentionally distinctive. Mounted on a central base, each chair rotates 360°, encouraging interaction and allowing for flexible spatial arrangements. Available in two sizes (63 cm or 87 cm diameter), they are ideally suited to cafés, lounges, hotels and high-end residential interiors. All lillus ball chairs are handcrafted in Germany, using premium materials, durable upholstery and expert craftsmanship – ensuring lasting comfort, structural integrity and timeless appeal.
