fauteuil bulle
Explanation:
I'm not sure that this bubble chair is the one that you are looking for: it is an modern armchair in the shape of a bubble. But I thought that you should have the information.

Le fauteuil Bulle par Eero Aarnio en 1968
Basé sur l’idée originale du fauteuil Ballon, le fauteuil Bulle présente le modèle réduit de son design. Comme disait Ludwig Mies van der Rohe : Moins devient plus ! un chef-d’œuvre du modèle réduit.
