Iconic “Womb” chair and ottoman designed by Eero Saarinen for Knoll Inc. In the United States in 1948. This spectacular chair was initially requested by Florence Knoll, mentioning she wanted "a chair that was like a basket full of pillows, something I could really curl up in." This highly comfortable and ergonomic Womb chair and ottoman set feature new Italian leather cognac upholstery, which creates a beautiful patina as it ages, keeping its superior quality and modern appeal for a luxurious look. The base is made of solid polished steel creating organic lines and a handsome profile from all angles. The chair and ottoman have been professionally refinished by our expert craftsmen keeping all the original design and historical details intact for a perfect blend of Mid-Century design and modern functionality for the years to come. As one of the most sought after Mid-Century modern classic, this set is rare to find with leather upholstery making it a must-have for any collector.
