This is a chair designed by Eero Saarinen, a Finnish designer. He was invited by Florence Knoll (a furniture designer widely known by people, and also the chief designer of furniture company Knoll ) to design a furniture which challenged the concept of conventional furniture.
So the aim of this chair is to break existing design, to create a new stage for furniture. It was not easy at that time.
But in 1960s, Eero Saarinen brought a chair named Womb Chair to this world. Looked totally different from conventional chairs, it was made of moulded fiberglass shell covered with wool fabric, adding additional seat and back cushions and the separate, coordinated ottoman. All of them are supported by slender steel rod base which is chrome-plated in a polished mirror finish. Its special wool upholstered design, manage to achieve in different colors.
The feeling of setting on Womb Chair:
Its body slant so that user falls back into the seat, with armrests beside, like a baby be wreathed in womb. Accord with the request from Knoll “sometimes i can curl myself in.” Gentle from the soft wool; Security from the rough fiberglass, deserved for its name “Womb Chair”.
