KNOLL
Womb Chair



On the 75th anniversary of its design by Eero Saarinen, Knoll commemorates one of its most iconic creations: the Womb Chair. This armchair, commissioned by Florence Knoll, revolutionised the very notion of armchairs through techniques and technologies that were truly pioneering for its time. It not only bestowed upon it a unique form but also a functionality that defied categorisation. Florence Knoll herself described it as “an armchair that resembled a basket full of pillows, a soft sanctuary in which to nestle.” The guiding principle behind the birth of the Womb Chair was the desire to satisfy our primal need for ultimate comfort—a concept proven to be universally timeless, transcending generations.
