Ball Chair, a classic of the design history, was created by Finnish furniture designer Eero Aarnio in 1963 and even now it still leads by example in design.

Eero Aarnio is known for his designs in plastic, and for this chair he started with a simple form of a ball and cutting a part of it. The result also gives to the user a personal and private space.

What I particularly like about this is how this chair turns into a design icon with such a basic geometric form and minimal elements.
