After having tried some new concepts I decided to return to retro chairs and model another favorite of mine. The Bubble Chair. This industrial design classic sits right next to the Ball Chair in my book. This modernist or even spaceage design which to me is another great icon from the 1960 era was also originally designed by Eero Aarnio.
The Bubble Chair got it’s name from its floating bubble-like sensation, and is a great symbol to use for the 1960’s.
I was pretty pleased with how my Bubble Chair renders turned out. I decided to render them in a really clean studio environment with highly pronounced reflections in the acrylic plastics, so I ended up making a complete series in red and silver colors, alternating between black and white backgrounds as well as taking shots from different angles.
And here is the rest of my Bubble Chair series:
Some of these images have done pretty well, and some haven’t. The angle and choice of background color really seems to make a difference. White background is much more popular than black. Personally I think black look much better, but I guess white overall just works better in usage situations.
I’ll continue with my iStockphoto story tomorrow. Cheers!
