Born in 1932, acclaimed Finnish designer Eero Aarnio changed the face of industrial design through his groundbreaking use of plastic. The Focus 2 Chair is one of Aarnio's newest creations and demonstrates his interest in exploring the possibilities of materials. The Focus 2 takes the same unique form of its upholstered predecessor, the Focus Chair, but comes at a much more attractive price thanks to its new interpretation in plastic.
Design Year: 2003
The Design:
- Interested in learning about the potential of different materials, Aarnio used rotation molding – a method of working with plastic, in this case medium density polyethylene - to create the Focus 2 Chair. He created a product similar to those he had created in fiberglass, except he was able to do so at a far lower cost. The result is a striking yet practical piece that can be purchased both individually and in sets as dining chairs.
- Another advantage to working with polyethylene is that Aarnio was able to create a chair that works well both indoors and outdoors. Available in four bright colors, the durable Focus 2 Chair can withstand the elements outside or serve equally as well in the home.
- The Focus 2 Chair was designed to complement the Parabel Dining Table. The curves and indentations of their shapes perfectly echo each other and form a coherent design vision when paired together. A full dining set is available.
Features:
- Made of polyethylene
- Suitable for indoor or outdoor use
- Complementary Parabel Dining Table available
- Available in four colors
Dimensions:
- 30.75" H x 25.67" W x 23.25" D
- Seat Height: 18"

Adelta:

Adelta believes that great art – and in turn, great ideas – will always endure. The best designs will survive fads and shifting preferences over time, enhancing the lives of all who come into contact with them. Adelta seeks out some of the most outstanding modern furniture designs to manufacture to original specifications and preserve for public enjoyment.
The first pieces Adelta sought were those by Eliel Saarinen, created during the early part of the 20th century and once almost lost completely. But thanks to Adelta's dedication, along with the understanding attitude of the Saarinen heirs and the museums involved, this Saarinen furniture is now available to all modern design enthusiasts. More works continiue to join the Adelta Collection, such as the hugely influential plastic furniture designs of Eero Aarnio. Great art and great ideas should be available to the public to be savored: this is Adelta's philosophy.
