Womb Chair From DWR

Retails for $5,595.00 The expressive sculptural forms of the Eero Saarinen Womb Chair (1946) can also be found in his architecture, from the TWA Terminal (now the TWA Hotel) at New York's JFK Airport to the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. In 1940, the Finnish American and his friend Charles Eames took first prize at the Organic Design in Home Furnishings competition at MoMA. Later that decade, Florence Knoll challenged Saarinen to create a chair that she could curl up in, which led to this iconic design. The Knoll Womb Chair has an enveloping form that continues to be one of the most celebrated and recognized representations of midcentury organic modernism. By applying foam molded over a fiberglass shell, Saarinen created a single-piece form that perfectly facilitates a relaxed sitting posture.
