Introducing the Womb Chair, inspired by Eero Saarinen’s iconic 1948 design. This piece embodies Saarinen’s innovative approach to comfort and sculptural elegance. Its wide, sweeping seat back offers generous support, while the stainless steel wire frame and base provide a modern, airy touch.
The chair’s deep, enveloping shape cradles the body, accommodating various seating positions and delivering exceptional ergonomic support for the back and legs.
Reinforced Fiberglass Shell
The Womb Chair features a reinforced fiberglass shell that provides both durability and a smooth, contoured surface, offering a seamless, sculptural form.

Inspired by the Eero Saarinen’s Iconic 1948 Design
Regarded as one of the world's most comfortable chairs, the Womb Chair’s design is celebrated for its organic shape, unmatched comfort, and versatile functionality. Named for its ability to support countless seating positions and create an oasis of calm, the chair's enveloping form and adaptive comfort will make it the most comfortable seat in your home.
Shape
The chair features a shallow, bowl-like form with a wide base and gently indented arms, creating a sculptural silhouette that embodies the principles of modernism. Eero Saarinen envisioned it as a "great big cup-like shell into which you can curl up," reflecting his desire to create a cozy, enveloping space.
Comfort
The chair’s soft, contoured shape molds to the body, offering exceptional support without the need for thick foam cushions. Its armrests accommodate people of varying heights, and the slightly reclining back allows for flexible seating positions—whether sitting upright or stretching out with legs on an ottoman.
Versatility
Designed with versatility in mind, the chair is ideal for a range of activities. It serves as a comfortable reading spot in living areas or bedrooms, and is practical for tasks such as feeding a baby. Its elegant design also makes it suitable for more formal settings, allowing users to sit upright with feet on the floor.
