Womb™ Chair

Womb™ Chair

Designed by Eero Saarinen 

Starting from €6101

Eero Saarinen designed the groundbreaking Womb Chair at Florence Knoll's request for "a chair that was like a basket full of pillows — something I could really curl up in." What resulted is one of the most coveted and recognisable designs of the 20th century: a moulded fiberglass shell, precisely curved to support the full range of relaxed human postures, wrapped in polyester fibre fill and foam, set on a tubular steel base with polished chrome or black finish. The chair measures 40"W × 34"D × 35.5"H with a 16" seat height and 20.5" arm height, weighs 36 lb, and holds GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality certification. In continuous production by Knoll since 1948 — never discontinued, never superseded — the Womb Chair is sold here as the standard size; the matching ottoman is listed separately.

Cultural & design-led spaces

A permanent MoMA collection piece and continuously produced since 1948 — ideal where authenticity and design heritage matter.

Saarinen designed the Womb Chair in 1948 after Florence Knoll requested a chair she could truly curl up in. Rather than relying on excessive padding, Saarinen developed a carefully proportioned molded fiberglass shell that provides comfort through shape itself. The chair supports multiple sitting positions naturally — upright, reclined, sideways, or curled inward.

At 40" wide and 34" deep, the Womb Chair is generous without becoming oversized. The relatively low 16" seat height contributes to the feeling of enclosure and relaxation. Beneath the organic shell, the tubular steel base remains visually light and direct, allowing the sculptural form above to dominate.

His work for Knoll includes the Womb Chair, Tulip Chair, and Pedestal Collection, while his architecture includes the Gateway Arch, TWA Flight Center, and Washington Dulles International Airport.

Жилые интерьеры и living rooms

Кресло, которое Florence Knoll попросила Saarinen создать для собственного дома — глубокое, обволакивающее и по-настоящему расслабляющее.

✓

Создаёт отдельную conversational-зону внутри кабинета — место для чтения, размышлений и неформального общения.

✓

Hotel lobby и hospitality

Один из самых узнаваемых силуэтов mid-century design — предмет, мгновенно задающий интерьеру статус и характер.

✓

Культурные и design-led пространства

Объект постоянной коллекции MoMA и один из ключевых предметов американского industrial design XX века.

Saarinen разработал Womb Chair в 1948 году после просьбы Florence Knoll создать кресло, в котором можно было бы по-настоящему расслабиться. Вместо чрезмерного слоя мягкого наполнителя он создал тщательно выверенную fiberglass shell, где именно форма отвечает за ощущение комфорта.

Кресло поддерживает разные способы посадки естественным образом: можно сидеть прямо, откинуться назад, подтянуть ноги или расположиться боком. При ширине 40" и глубине 34" объект остаётся визуально лёгким, несмотря на щедрые пропорции. Низкая посадка 16" усиливает ощущение защищённости и покоя.
