This week’s modern icon is the Womb Chair, designed by Eero Saarinen in 1948. Many mid century modern icon design pieces emerged from the friendship and collaboration between Eero and Florence Knoll. One of these iconic furniture pieces was the renowned Womb Chair. This womb shaped chair consists of a molded fiberglass shell covered in foam. The cushions on the seat, back and ottoman are separate pieces, making the design highly comfortable.

The womb shaped chair only originated after Florence Knoll told Saarinen her desire for a chair she “could curl up in, like a basket of pillows.” Here you can see a hot fuchsia Womb Chair reproduction used as an accent chair paired with Saarine’s iconic tulip table.

In our humble opinion, one of the attributes of this chair and ottoman that makes it so awesome is the bright color options. This hot red pair shown above in front of a bookshelf is dreamy. Even if this chair is ideal for the living room, due to its adaptability, it can be used in every room, including the library, home office or bedroom.
