La Womb chair est le premier fruit de la collaboration entre Eero Saarineen, Charles Eames et Florence Knoll.
Ils la dessinent en 1940 à la demande de Florence Knoll qui leur demande « Une chaise qui sera comme une corbeille remplie de coussin ». Elle sera éditée en 1948. C'est un des premiers fauteuils produits en série, résolument moderne pour son époque !
Cette pièce est une deuxième édition, drap de laine noir chiné.
Dimension Ottoman : H: 38 cm - L : 64 cm - P: 50 cm
Édition: Knoll International, circa 1970

The Womb Chair is the first result of the collaboration between Eero Saarinen, Charles Eames, and Florence Knoll.
Designed in 1940 at Florence Knoll's request, she famously asked for "a chair that was like a basket full of pillows." The model was introduced into production in 1948 and became one of the first armchairs to be mass-produced, embodying a radically modern vision for its time.
This example is a second edition, upholstered in black mottled wool fabric.
Ottoman: H: 15 in - W: 25.2 in - D: 19.7 in
