Womb
Lounge Chair was designed by American architect Eero Saarinen in 1946 and is also a representative work of mid-20th century modernism. Womb Chair challenges the traditional concept of furniture and brings a strong visual impulse. The
Modern Lounge Chair body is wrapped in soft cashmere cloth. Sitting on it feels like being gently embraced by the chair, providing comprehensive comfort and security, like being in the mother's womb. It is a recognized mid-century modernist product and a true modern classic product!
In the July 1961 issue of Playboy magazine, six male designers who were regarded as the most avant-garde in the design world at the time appeared with their own classics, including Eero Saarinen and his womb
Fabric Lounge Chair.
Eero Saarinen is an important designer and architect who emerged in the United States after the war. He is committed to breaking through the stereotyped and monotonous Mies tradition and pioneering an organic functionalist style based on the Scandinavian design tradition. His design is simple and stretched, and he uses arched structural curves many times, which is very rational.
His "Womb Lounge Chair" and "Tulip Chair" are both well-known outstanding works in furniture design from the 1950s to the 1960s. Through the design of these chairs, Saarinen gradually combined organic form and modern function, creating a new design approach of organic modernism.
When designing the Womb Chair, Saarinen said: "We seem to be in great need of replacing the old, overstuffed chairs with a big, comfortable chair... After all, now more than ever before, we need to relax.
