Chair Womb

The chair womb design created by Eero Saarinen showcases this Finnish born designer and architect. He designed it in 1948 for Florence Knoll, also an architect and designer who wanted a chair to curl up in. He often considered himself a “form giver”, sculptor and architect, blending these ideals to create his sleek and modern furniture designs. Famous for his organic furniture designs and his most notable architectural designs include the St. Louis Arch, Dulles International Airport and the TWA terminal at Kennedy Airport.

The classic Saarinen Womb chair is probably one of the most famous celebrated modern designs for furniture. The overall look of the chair gives you the illusion it will envelop you in warmth and security. The rounded shape of the chair with the slight incline just invites comfort. The chair is constructed from fiberglass that has been molded to create the shape. The foam is attached to this molded shell and creates a single flowing chair.

The frame is made from chrome and has a highly polished finish. There are an incredible amount of fabrics you can choose. Some of the upholstery choices include Mohair, Boucle and Cato. You will be able to select the perfect color of fabric to accent your room. To enhance the comfort of the chair, you can purchase additional matching or contrasting cushions for the seat and back. The Womb Ottoman is the perfect accessory for this chair womb design. This will give you a relaxing spot after a long day.

This chair will pair wonderfully with the Tulip style coffee table also designed by Saarinen. The sleek and simple styling will help to complete the modern and organic look of your room. The top is made from marble and sits on a fiberglass base. The chair and Ottoman will make for a comfortable and relaxing area.
