Did you recently purchase an Eero Aarnio ball chair ? Want a fun way to let your family and friends know about the chair? Consider photo shoots! Whether you'll sending a pic of your chair by cell phone, via the computer or as a Christmas card, create an interesting or fun background for your chair! Here are some ideas to get you started. You'll probably come up with additional great ideas!

• Garden scene. Do you have a sun room or a room that receives a lot of natural light? Place your ball chair in a corner of the room. Arrange plants of varying heights on either side of the chair. Use a couple of hanging vines as well. Place a single rose on the cushion of the chair.
• Romantic scene. Does your bedroom have a balcony? Center your chair in front of the balcony with the doors open. On either side of the chair, propping the doors open, place two tall containers of silk flowers. Place a small silk pillow in the ball chair . In front of the chair, place a glass top coffee table. Decorate the table with candles and rose pedals.
• Zen scene. Place your ball chair next to a wall water fountain. In front of the chair, place a "primitive" wooden coffee table. Using a glass cake pan, fill the pan halfway with sand and place it on the table. Place votive candles and a few interesting stones in the sand.
• Holiday scene. Thinking about designing your own Christmas card? Place your ball chair beside your Christmas tree. Add a decorative pillow to the chair. For fun, place a big homemade bow on top of your chair!
• Space age scene. Place four triangular sconces on the wall and center your chair accordingly. Use round glow lamps on the floor near the chair. Using just the lighting from the scones and glow lamps, take your pictures. The lighting will give a fun eerie glow to the chair.
• Cozy scene. A fireplace always makes for a cozy scene! Whether you have a real fireplace or a fake one, place your ball chair near it. Fold a lap throw so it's partially hanging out of the chair. Place a pair of cozy slippers in front of the chair.
• Casual scene. Place a drink and a magazine or book on a stand next to your ball chair. Place a floor lamp on the other side of your chair. Have your cat or dog sit in front of your chair on a small rug.
• Workspace scene. Show your friends that work can be done in comfort! Place a modern coffee table in front of your ball chair. On the table, place your laptop, a pair of glasses and a couple of pens. Place an open book on the cushion of your chair.
• Media scene. Capture a picture containing your ball chair, an ottoman and part of your flat screen TV. Near your chair have a small table to the side with popcorn and a beverage.
• Art scene. Do you have a wall with an interesting art feature, such as a metal design or a painting? Place your ball chair in front of the wall. Use a coffee table with a uniquely designed base in front of your chair. On the table, place some pottery.

Now that you have some ideas, think of a fun way to photo shoot your ball chair . Your family and friends will get a kick out of the pictures. And who knows, if you get a really great shot, enter it into a contest or for a magazine article!
