Inspiration board: Sphere

The first thing that came into my mind when talking about spheres was Finnish design. Sphere has been the main inspiration in so many well known items - for example these:

Eero Aarnio, The Ball Chair

 What does spehre mean to me?

Home, a safe place
from urbanity to nature
from steel factory to handcrafts
from steel to wood and wool
from masculinity to femininity
