With his organic, curvilinear designs Eero Saarinen was a prime mover in the introduction of modernism into American Mainstream. The groundbreaking Womb Chair was designed upon the request of Florence Knoll who wanted a chair you could really curl up in. The scope was to build a chair that would be comfortable due to its shape rather than the thickness of its upholstery which he managed with techniques and materials that were yet unknown to the field of product design. With fiberglass experiments and a shape that supports countless positions the Saarinen Womb Chair would be one of the most iconic, and comfortable, chairs of the modern furniture movement. An oasis of calm as the name would suggest.
