Description

Eero Aarnio's Screw table lifts a familiar object found in every home in a place of honour. Screws are used in most furniture but usually, the aim is to hide them from view. Eero Aarnio's approach to industrial design has always been quite the opposite: he has wanted to make simple, hidden forms into visible objects. The Screw table, designed in 1991, turns the familiar into something completely different, growing an invisible little fixture into a gigantic size.

Like other Aarnio classics, the Screw table is made of fibreglass. This personal table will amuse the viewer and add a touch of quirkiness and humour to the interior, but it will also feed the imagination and inspire – just as Eero Aarnio hopes.

Eero Aarnio

Eero Aarnio (b. 1932) is a Finnish designer and professor h.c. and is considered one of the great innovators of modern furniture design. During the years, Aarnio has experimented with a variety of different materials, including plastic, fibreglass and foam plastic. With these materials he has created some of the icons of Finnish design such as the Ball Chair (1962), Bubble Chair (1968) and Pastil Chair (1968), just to name a few.  

Famous for his furniture, Eero Aarnio is renowned also for his lamps – such as Double Bubble and Swan – and has proven his skills as a wood designer as well – for example with the Rocket bar stool and the Baby Rocket stool are excellent examples of his wooden designs. Eero Aarnio’s designs are characterized by a positive attitude and joyful nature, exemplified in works like the playful Puppy or the lovely Dino.

Aarnio’s creations are present in the collections of numerous museums worldwide – including the Victoria and Albert Hall Museum in London, the MoMA in New York, the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, Germany and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris – and he has won many prestigious international design awards, such as the Red Dot Design Award and the Compasso d’Oro Design Award.
