Description

With a compact central column and lightweight air-filled domes, Ballo is an imaginative take on traditional ball chairs, supporting flexibility and freedom of movement. Available in a variety of vibrant colors, Ballo has a dynamic nature that allows it to integrate into a wide range of environments.

Studies show that comfortable employees are happier and more productive. In the modern workplace, the ability to move is increasingly important for overall comfort and well-being. Ballo makes movement effortless, while its lightweight design makes it easy to transport for spontaneous use.

Design Story - The Ballo stool was created by renowned industrial designer Don Chadwick to promote workspace flexibility, freedom of movement and comfort. Meaning “to dance” in Italian, Ballo conjures a sense of movement, fluidity and grace. The ultimate multipurpose stool, Ballo is the perfect partner for the modern workspace.

"Ballo was inspired by the exercise ball, but it’s more fun. I wanted to create a stool that would bring a playful aesthetic to any environment, while encouraging healthy movement." Don Chadwick, Designer
