Designed by Eero Saarinen in 1948 at the request of Florence Knoll, the Womb Chair revolutionized the very concept of an armchair with techniques and technologies that were innovative for those years, giving it not only a unique form, but a functionality that eluded any cataloging.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Said Florence Knoll at the time, “I made this particular request because I was fed up with armchairs that only allowed people to sit in one position. <\/strong>I thought it was time to break the mold. And that’s exactly what happened. I wanted an armchair that resembled a basket full of pillows, a soft shelter to curl up in.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time of the launch, Saarinen stated, “Never before have we needed to relax.” Words that never cease to be relevant<\/strong>, just like his creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n
