Factory Furniture was approached by Diarmuid Gavin to produce a piece of feature furniture for his National Lottery sponsored "Colourful Suburban Eden" installation at the 2004 Chelsea Flower Show.

The brief was to create an exterior version of the original bubble chair which was designed by Eero Aarnio. The Globe chair is fabricated from stainless steel with a wire seat and tube rim, suspended on a central chain.

The garden also featured a sea of brightly-coloured lollipops and was awarded a silver-gilt medal.
