"When
Florence Knoll challenged Finnish-born architect and designer Eero Saarinen in 1948 to create a chair
that she could curl up in, she had found an apt candidate for the task. The Womb Chair's enveloping, lap-like form
continues to be one of the most iconic and recognized representations of
mid-century Scandinavian organic modernism. In fact, ask most designers and architects what lounge chair design they covet and they'll promptly tell you it's the Womb Chair." - Design Within Reach
i only recently discovered how old this design is. i like knowing that
it's popularity and functionality have persisted across several decades.
