Description
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.
