      Ball chair or globe chair, designed by Eero Aarnio (1963).
      "The idea of the chair was very obvious. We had moved to our first home and I had started my free-lance career in 1962.
      We had a home but no proper big chair, so I decided to make one, but some way a really new one. After some drawing I noticed that the shape of the chair had become so simple that it was merely a ball. I pinned the full scale drawing on the wall and sat in the chair to see how my head would move when sitting inside it. Being the taller one of us I sat in the chair and my wife drew the course of my head on the wall. This is how I determined the height of the chair. Since I aimed at a ball shape, the other lines were easy to draw, just remembering that the chair would have to fit through a doorway.
      After this I made the first prototype myself using an inside mould, which has been made using the same principle as a glider fuselage or wing. I covered the plywood body mould with wet paper and laminated the surface with fiberglass, rubbed down the outside, removed the mould from inside, had it upholstered and added the leg. In the end I installed the red telephone on the inside wall of the chair. The naming part of the chair was easy, the BALL CHAIR was born".

    He's not a very good builder. The load bearing wall could be replaced with an RSJ above to take the load, supported by vertical load bearing pillars. The fireplace would be more a problem, but not too hard if the wall only rotates 180 degrees and back, connecting the chimney with a flexible joint section.

      You may be surprised but the theme is actually from the movie "End of Days" and is the main title theme, I only found out a few weeks ago. Just search on youtube End of Day's Theme, the music is very similar to TimeSplitters but that is because Free Radical, the guys who made TimeSplitters Future Perfect liked the eerie sense of the theme from End of Days that they decided to put it into their game, albeit a slightly altered version.

    Actually the whole discussion on why they use ambiguous terms for crime such as "making them a pair of cement shoes" or "sleeping with the fishes" is rather interesting. The gangsters of New York, amongst others, did it so that if their conversations were overheard they would have an excuse because what they said simply didn't mean murder or theft or whatever. Bulletproof in court!

    • @GEM4sta

      Funnily enough, in the Bond movies they are often much more explicit (e.g. Blofeld in YOLT - "KILL BOND! NOW!"). The times they aren't, it's usually a sick joke.

    Lots of people are commenting on the poor quality of the builder. As a shop foreman for a prominent Super villain I must explain. Past litigation brought about by The Evil Henchman Union Local 812 has resulted in stringent codes and inspection requirements. The builder is licensed and bonded through the Governing Body of Nefarious Means and Ways. He could lose his license and the Super Villain would be responsible for all liability claims. Basically his hands were tied on this project. Hope this helps all future villains planning renovations.
