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.

Design

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.

Questions About The Womb Chair

How long until I receive my order?

The Womb Chair arrives approximately 3 - 4 Weeks from the day of order.

Our products take longer to arrive than most others on the internet. But there's a good reason why. Most of our pieces are made to order and ship directly from the source. We don’t keep warehouses or carry excess inventory. This is how we cut costs and pass thousands in savings back to you. But it also means you have to wait a bit longer.
What is your return policy

The Womb Chair can be returned after receiving the order if the product is damaged or unusable.

Our products are made to order. So we cannot offer returns for changes in preference. But we always do what we can to make it right.

To be returned, products need to be completely unused and still in their original packaging.
How can I track my order?

The Womb Chair ships within 7 Days of order placement.

Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an email with tracking details, allowing you to monitor its progress. Simply use the provided tracking information on our delivery partner’s website to stay updated on your shipment.

Judge us by our looks

Our packaging is safe, simple, and proudly no frills. We don't think it makes sense to pay for things you throw away immediately.

That's why the Womb Chair ships in the same protective packaging the manufacturer uses, covered in functional stickers and foreign stamps showing the journey it's been on.

We don't hide it and wear it as a badge of honor for the places our products have been and the people who made them.
