The word "light" is a brilliant descriptor of the Airball sofa and armchair, due to the way in which they've been manufactured, and due to the exciting effects that have been applied to them. Designed by Alberto Brogliato and Plust, the ultramodern seating system is versatile and vibrant.
Part of the Gumball Family of furnishings, these pieces are great for indoor use, but they've been built to withstand the elements so that they can alternatively be used as patio furniture. They're bulbous and hollow and speckled in circular holes, eliminating unnecessary material to decrease the bulkiness of their rounded forms.
The Airball sofa and armchair can be visually enhanced with an RGB lighting kit as well. Neon beams will escape from the objects for a psychedelic effect.
