Product Description

Eero Saarinen designed the groundbreaking Womb Chair and Ottoman at Florence Knoll’s request for “a chair that was like a basket full of pillows… something I could really curl up in.” Eero Saarinen was eager to continue exploring the possibilities of a chair that achieved comfort through the shape of its shell, not the depth of its cushioning. The fiberglass design supports multiple sitting postures as well as a sense of enclosure. Designed in 1948, it remains one of the most iconic symbols of mid-century modern design.

Designer

Eero Saarinen

Eero Saarinen was a Finnish-American architect and designer known for his sculptural approach to modern design. Working closely with Knoll, he created iconic furniture such as the Tulip Chair and Saarinen Dining Table, which eliminated the “slum of legs” beneath tables and chairs. Saarinen also designed landmark buildings including the Gateway Arch and the TWA Flight Center, leaving a lasting impact on both architecture and furniture design. See more

The Womb Chair At 75

The Knoll Womb Chair has an enveloping form that continues to be one of the most celebrated and recognized representations of midcentury organic modernism. By applying foam molded over a fiberglass shell, Saarinen created a single-piece form that perfectly facilitates a relaxed sitting posture.
