Prop in the spaceship Orion: Karuselli armchair Artek
Lean back and relax - that works best in the Karuselli armchair by Artek. The casual armchair is one of the world's most famous lounge chairs and guarantees highest seating comfort due to its ergonomic shape and its high-quality upholstery. The armchair by the Finnish designer Yrjö Kukkapuro is the most famous piece of furniture designed by him. For years, Kukkapuro tinkered with the development of the miracle armchair made of fibreglass, and in 1965 the time had come. The success of the chair went around the world. In the same year, the carousel armchair was used as a prop in the filming of the German science fiction television series Raumpatrouille - Die phantastischen Abenteuer des Raumschiffes Orion. The design armchair was later not only included in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, it was also nominated in 1974 by the New York Times as the most comfortable seating furniture in the world.[1]
The beautifully designed armchair is upholstered in the finest Sørensen Prestige leather in black. The seat shell is enthroned on a chrome-plated steel rail, which gives the impression that the seat is floating above the footrest. Thanks to this elegant solution, the lounge chair can even be rotated.

Artek - always modern
Artek was founded in Helsinki in 1935 by four young idealists: Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen and Nils-Gustav Hahl. With their designs, they wanted to promote a modern culture of living. The radical spirit of its founders still lives in Artek today and so the company produces furniture from the world of modern design that stands at the interface of design, architecture and art. They are characterised by clarity, functionality and poetic simplicity.
