Eero Saarinen's Womb Chair was the result of
collaboration with Charles Eames. Saarinen sought to design a
comfortable chair which would allow several sitting positions rather
than one rigid one and alas, the womb was born! Exquisitely comfy, sleek
and stylish, this chair has it all. A real must for anyone serious about furniture and
design.
A seriously comfortable Chair, sit down and drift
away. Designer Eero Saarinen said, "A chair should not only look well as
a piece of sculpture in a room when no one is in it, it should also be a
flattering background when someone is in it." The womb chair fulfils
both requirements with a beautifully organic grace. The wide, solid
stance of this very functional chair allows the sitter to sprawl out
every which way.
Base is a highly polished
stainless steel rod. Frame and upholstery is foam over a moulded,
reinforced fibreglass shell on chair, and foam cushion over moulded
plywood platform on ottoman. Separate seat, back, and ottoman cushions
are constructed of polyester fibre with foam core and all covered
in a gorgeously soft cashmere fabric!
This timeless classic looks better and better with age and would simply
add a touch of class to any living space! |
