The Baer Faxt is excited to announce our collaborative exhibition with Eero Aarnio Originals, A Full Circle, will open as part of West Bund Art and Design 2024 in Shanghai, November 8th–10th, 2024. As the official Project Partner of West Bund Art and Design, we present this special exhibition, curated by The Baer Faxt President Luyang Jiang, marking the first major solo exhibition in Asia of the iconic Finnish designer. The exhibition will trace Eero Aarnio’s design journey from his first drawing at the age of 6 to his monumental creations at 92 years old, from his groundbreaking Ball Chair to his latest design, Kisu. In addition, Aarnio’s designs will debut as prints and large-scale outdoor sculptures in this exhibition.
