Description
Saarinen was given the following brief by Florence Knoll: "I want a chair that is like a basket full of cushions to curl up and read a book in".
Produced by Knoll since 1948, the Womb was the first fibreglass chair to be mass-produced in America. The initial production was made by a boat builder, the only company able to produce the complex, organic form.
"I designed the Womb Chair because there seemed to be a need for a large and really comfortable chair to take the place of the old overstuffed chair. Today, more than ever before, we need to relax" said Eero Saarinen in 1948.
The Womb chair is available in three sizes. The standard and medium size have an accompanying ottoman.
