The Womb Chair's enveloping, lap-like form continues to be one of the most iconic and recognized representations of mid-century Scandinavian organic modernism. In fact, ask most designers and architects what lounge chair design they covet and they'll promptly tell you it's the Womb Chair. By applying foam molded over a fiberglass shell, Saarinen was able to create a single-piece form that perfectly facilitated a relaxed sitting posture and a sublime feeling of security. Additional seat and back cushions and the coordinating Womb Ottoman provide a further degree of lavish comfort. Knoll's signature boucle upholstery holds its own in terms of softness and appeal. The slender steel rod base is chrome-plated using a multiple step process that results in a flawlessly polished mirror finish. Manufactured by Knoll according to the original and exacting specifications of the designer. Made in U.S.A
