Key Features

Made in USA
Florence Knoll challenged legendary designer Eero Saarinen to create a chair that she could curl up in that provides a supreme amount of comfort. The result: the Saarinen Womb Chair. Designed in 1948, this timeless piece was crafted in a way to provide a sense of comfort and security. Its unique seat is created from a molded, reinforced fiberglass shell which is layered in dense foam and topped with separate seat and back cushions in polyester fiver over a foam core. Its stable look is finished with a steel rod base. Ideal for any living room, guest room or bedroom, choose the aesthetic that works best for your modern home.

Amazing chair with bumps in the road

The Womb chair is just a fantastic classic that sits so comfortably. That said about the chair there were some issues getting it. The fabric I selected on yliving had not been available from Knoll for a while so I had to select another fabric. I was not informed of this until Knoll figured it out months after the order and contacted me. Make sure you confirm the fabric still exists. After all of that was settled I received a chair that has some creases in the fabric. It took a lot of customer service calls to Knoll, but the finally sent out a service rep armed with a hand steamer. Could have done that myself but some of the creases did come out. I'm satisfied but Knoll can be a little difficult to deal with and I am sure they now feel the same about me.

It is super comfortable and beautiful. Adds character to the whole room. We decided not to get the ottoman just yet, but now that the chair is here, I feel like the chair needs it in other to be 100% complete. We'll get it soon.
