It was only a matter of time before the home decor industry caught up with the fashion industry by adopting a 90s aesthetic in a big, bold and bright way. Harking back to the days of inflated furniture, the Airflower Chair takes on the form of a flower. Perfect for teens and adults who happen to be stuck in the past--in only the best of ways, of course, the Airflower Chair is fun and fresh.
Designed by Fabrice Berrix for Roche Bobois, the Airflower Chair is available in orange, clear and blue. Inspired by his original, and best-selling, Mayflower Chair, the Airflower Chair is made out of PCV and comes with the option of an electrical pump. Its particularly great for outdoor spaces, preferably with pools.
