Fibreglass Chairs
Fibreglass Chairs became very popular in the 1970's, as you could create such beautiful round shapes that had never been seen before. Some of the best designers of the era experimented with fiberglass lounge chairs and included Charles Eames and Eero Aarnio.
The most famous fiberglass chair ever released is the Ball Chair, which was a revolutionary design featuring a spinning round fiberglass ball shape with exceptional acoustics when sitting inside. The bright shell spun easily allowing the user to move the seat to wherever they wished to view, and came with two fluffy and comfortable cushions. Eero Aarnio won countless design awards as a result of this chair, and it was featured in the 'Mork and Mindy' show.
Following on from the Ball Chair, Henrik Thor-Larsen produced the stunning Ovalia egg shaped chair, which featured the same ease of swivel and exceptional acoustics. The Ovalia Egg Chair featured in the movie Men in Black, and is an ideal space for you to read or relax. By not allowing the sound to travel inward, it creates a cone like atmosphere and you can escape the outside world.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are fibreglass chairs, and why are they so popular in retro interiors?
Fibreglass chairs are sculptural seats made from molded fibreglass, a lightweight yet durable material that gained popularity in the 1960s and 70s. Designs like the Eero Aarnio Ball Chair and the Ovalia Egg Chair became icons of futuristic style. Their curvy, glossy shell and acoustic comfort make them ideal for retro-inspired homes. At Replica Furniture, our fibreglass lounge chairs combine design heritage with modern-day functionality.
Are fibreglass lounge chairs comfortable for everyday use?
Absolutely. Despite their bold shapes, our fibreglass lounge chairs are designed with comfort in mind. Chairs like the Replica Ball Chair and Ovalia Egg Chair feature plush internal cushions and acoustic insulation that cocoon the user, making them perfect for reading, relaxing, or escaping into your own space. The swivel base adds flexibility while maintaining that retro flair.
Do your fibreglass chairs come assembled and ready to use?
Yes, our fibreglass chairs, including the iconic Replica Ball Chair and Ovalia Egg Chair, come almost completely assembled. The fibreglass shell is a single molded piece, and cushions are fitted inside. Minor setup is required to put the chair onto the base and screw them together. This takes less than 5 minutes.

How do I clean and care for fibreglass chairs?
Fibreglass chairs are easy to care for. Simply wipe the shell with a soft cloth and mild soap, avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives that could damage the gloss finish. Interior cushions can be spot cleaned, and we recommend using fabric protection like Scotchgard for added longevity. See our full Furniture Care Guide for fibreglass-specific tips.
