Womb Chair Relax, grey - chrome base

Womb Chair Relax is an even softer, a more relaxed interpretation of the original Womb chair designed by Eero Saarinen for Knoll. The original Womb chair was designed in 1946 by request of Florence Knoll, who wanted to Saarinen to create a soft, inviting chair that one could ”really curl up in”. The result was Womb, a chair with a shell made of cushioned and upholstered fibreglass carried by a thin steel rod base. Womb was one of the world’s first industrially manufactured fibreglass chairs, and its organic design language has had a great impact on modern design all around the world. The lightweight Womb chair fits wonderfully into any modern interior.
