Eero Saarinen Womb chair for Knoll, 1960s
SILVER Seller in Milano, Italia
Item description
Historical example of the "Womb" seat, designed by Eero Saarinen in 1948 on commission from Florence Knoll. The project was born from the entrepreneur's request to create a chair that was "like a basket full of pillows", a shelter where she could curl up freely: a lap, precisely This specific example dates back to the production of the 1960s and represents a testimony to the material innovation of the period: the body is in fact made of stamped fiberglass, a cutting-edge material borrowed from the nautical industry at the time which allowed for the first time to obtain such organic and enveloping shapes The armchair stands out for its ergonomic shell design, designed to support multiple relaxation positions, supported by an essential steel rod structure. Visible marks or labels are missing, which was common in production at the time While maintaining its structural integrity, the armchair is offered with its natural patina shaped by time and use: there are stains, fabric wear and some cigarette burns. The covering, in its original pink colour, should perhaps be redone: however, it is fully usable
