Womb™ Ottoman in Leather
Designed by Eero Saarinen for Knoll®
When Florence Knoll challenged Finnish-born architect and designer Eero Saarinen in 1946 to create a chair that she could curl up in, she had found an apt candidate for the task. The Womb Chair's enveloping, lap-like form continues to be one of the most iconic and recognized representations of mid-century Scandinavian organic modernism. In fact, ask most designers and architects what lounge chair design they covet and they'll promptly tell you it's the Womb Chair. Manufactured by Knoll according to the original and exacting specifications of the designer. Made in U.S.A.
Foam applied over a molded fiberglass shell creates a single-piece that perfectly facilitates a relaxed sitting posture.
The slender steel rod base is chrome-plated using a multiple step process, resulting in a flawlessly polished mirror finish.

Eero Saarinen
Although Eero Saarinen made his reputation in the United States following World War II, he had his roots in Europe. Until 1923, he lived in Finland with his mother, textile artist Loja Saarinen, and his father, the renowned architect and town planner, Eliel Saarinen. For Eero, architecture was a discipline like the fine arts, and in particular, sculpture. He called himself a "form giver" and everything he designed had a strong sculptural quality.
Saarinen began his career as a student at Yale University...
