Mid Century Womb Lounge Chair & Ottoman by Saarinen for Knoll, 1960s
This vintage mid century modern Saarinen for Knoll Womb lounge chair and ottoman was designed by Eero Saarinen in 1946 in response to Florence Knoll's request for 'a chair that was like a basket full of pillows - something she could really curl up in.' The result was the No. 70 “Womb” chair - an elegantly sculptural and incredibly comfortable chair that has come to be a highly collectible mid century modern icon. The innovative design was drawn from the shipbuilding industry and includes foam padding and upholstery over a single-piece fiberglass shell seat resting on a polished chrome tubular steel frame.
