 HISTORY

Florence Knoll requested “a chair that was like a basket full of pillows—something I could really curl up in."

Revolutionary in 1948 and resonant today. Designed for Florence Knoll by Eero Saarinen, the Womb defied conventions of what a chair could be-from the feminist instinct that sparked its inception of the materials and construction that allowed its organic form. 

Today, after 75 years in homes, workplaces and the cultural zietgeist, the Womb Chair persists as the ubiquitous beacon of comfort and icon of modern design.
