This set of Womb Chairs, designed by Eero Saarinen for Knoll Inc., represents a refined example of 1970s modernism, executed under the vision of a renowned designer and manufacturer. The structure consists of an enveloping, organically curved shell, with a broad seat and deeply reclined backrest that encourage truly relaxed lounging. Upholstered in a finely woven, matte crimson fabric that tightly hugs the form and highlights the chair's seamless biomorphic surface, each chair presents a sculptural silhouette. Slim chrome-plated steel legs provide contrast and support, terminated with discreet round glides for stability. A generously sized, detachable back cushion further elevates comfort, while the substantial proportions—102 × 86 × 91 cm—give the chair a vivid presence. The condition is collector-worthy: restored with new upholstery and no visible traces of use or damage.
This piece, an icon of postwar optimism, echoes the language of comfort, openness, and new modernity. Saarinen's form, inspired by organic fluidity, carries the marvels of functional sculpture—inviting one to sink into the softness of its fabric, promising a safe harbor from daily bustle. The vibrant crimson hue reflects the dynamism of the 1970s, while the chromed legs catch ambient light, lending the chair a sense of levity. Ever faithful to its original concept of enveloping comfort, the Womb Chair remains a bridge between sculptural presence and the democratic luxury of home relaxation.
