Born in 1932, acclaimed Finnish designer Eero Aarnio changed the face of industrial design through his groundbreaking use of plastic. The Parabel Dining Table and Focus 2 Chairs complement each other in form and material to create a dining set with a unique harmony. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor areas, this dining set adds an element of fantasy to every space it occupies.
Design Year: 2002 and 2003
The Design:
- To create the Parabel Dining Table, Eero Aarnio chose fiberglass to meet the material demands of the expressive table he envisioned. Not only did fiberglass allow him to shape the table exactly to his specifications, but it was a practical choice to create a long-lasting, easy-to-clean surface. He summed up the process as such: "When designing new items like Parabel Table, in my case, there is a lot of inspiration and very much craftsmanship and technical knowledge."
- For the Focus 2 Chairs, Aarnio used rotation molding – a method of working with plastic, in this case medium density polyethylene - to create the Focus 2 Chair. The finished product took the same form as its predecessor, the Focus Chair, 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.
- All components in this set can be used both indoors and outdoors. The chairs come in bold red and yellow as well as classic black and white to allow the set to assimilate easily into any preexisting color schemes. Additionally, all pieces are easy to care for and highly durable.

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.
