The Ultimate Retro Statement: Replica Ovalia & Ball Chairs
Step inside the golden era of 1960s space-age design. Characterised by bold geometric shapes, sweeping curves, and the innovative use of solid fibreglass shells, our curated collection of mid-century pod chairs brings iconic architectural statements right into the modern era.
Featuring premium reproductions built to rigorous commercial standards, this collection includes retro seating and matching tables held directly in our Brisbane warehouse for fast Australian dispatch.
The Iconic Replica Ovalia Egg Chair
First unveiled by Henrik Thor-Larsen in 1968, the Ovalia chair is a masterpiece of form and function. While famously cemented in pop culture as a staple of 1970s living, the Replica Ovalia Egg Chair is increasingly celebrated today as an essential piece of sensory furniture.
The rigid, glossy fibreglass exterior and deep, acoustic-dampening foam interior work together to create a quiet, cocoon-like sanctuary. This makes it a highly sought-after seating solution for school libraries, inclusive university study spaces, corporate breakout rooms, and bold residential lounge rooms. We proudly stock the Replica Ovalia in four distinct colourways: White/Black, White/Red, White/Blue, and the ultra-modern All-Black edition.
The Masterpieces of Eero Aarnio
Sitting perfectly alongside the Ovalia is our homage to Finnish design pioneer Eero Aarnio. Debuting at the 1966 Cologne Furniture Fair, the Replica Eero Aarnio Ball Chair—often referred to as a "room within a room"—was an instant global success and remains a museum-quality staple of modern interiors.
Available in a variety of classic colour configurations, it expertly combines immersive comfort with a striking pop-art aesthetic. To complete your retro lounge setup, pair your seating with the sleek Replica Eero Aarnio Hybo Coffee Table. With its matching high-gloss fibreglass finish and organic curves, it perfectly ties the entire space-age experience together.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Ovalia Egg Chair and the Ball Chair?
The Ovalia Egg Chair, originally designed by Henrik Thor-Larsen in 1968, features an egg-shaped fibreglass shell and an open-top design that offers a cocooning, yet breathable, retro seating experience. The Ball Chair, designed earlier in 1963 by Eero Aarnio, is more spherical and enclosed, creating a private, pod-like atmosphere with sound-dampening benefits. Both styles are icons of Mid-Century design and remain highly sought after for their sculptural aesthetics and comfort. At Replica Furniture, both chairs are available in multiple colour options, crafted with fibreglass shells and soft fabric interiors, making them ideal for lounges, reading nooks, and offices.
Why are Ovalia Egg Chairs and Ball Chairs so expensive compared to regular egg chairs?
Replica Ovalia and Ball Chairs are more than just trendy shapes, they’re faithful recreations of historically significant designs by Danish and Finnish design legends. Unlike cheaper models often made with rattan or plastic, our replicas are constructed using durable fibreglass shells, precision-matched dimensions, and high-quality upholstery that mirror the original specifications. This attention to detail ensures longevity and an authentic look and feel, suitable for both residential and commercial spaces. You’re not just buying a seat, you're investing in a timeless Mid-Century design piece.
Are these chairs suitable for commercial use like offices, hotels or showrooms?
Yes, both the Replica Ovalia Egg Chair and the Ball Chair are well-suited for commercial settings. Their sturdy fibreglass build, combined with supportive cushioned interiors, provides a comfortable seating option with high visual impact. These chairs are often used in reception areas, hotel lobbies, modern office lounges, and even as statement pieces in showrooms. At Replica Furniture, we offer commercial-grade finishes and nationwide delivery, making bulk orders and corporate outfitting simple and efficient.
Can I view or try out the Ovalia Egg Chair or Ball Chair before buying?
Absolutely. Customers are welcome to visit our Kedron Showroom in Brisbane, where you can view and try our full range of replica designer chairs in person. Our team is available to help you explore colour options, materials, and design details to ensure the chair suits your interior needs. For those outside Brisbane, Nationwide Shipping and Next Day Dispatch options ensure a fast and reliable delivery experience Australia-wide.
Are your egg chairs indoor or outdoor furniture?
Our Replica Ovalia Egg Chairs and Ball Chairs are designed exclusively for indoor use. They feature fibreglass shells and soft fabric interiors, making them ideal for living rooms, offices, reading corners, and studio spaces. While there are many "egg chairs" on the market made for outdoor use (often in rattan or metal), our focus is on faithful indoor reproductions of iconic 1960s and 1970s designs. These are not intended for outdoor exposure or weather conditions.
