Some dry cracks in the leather on pillow of the ottoman The Womb Chair, designed by Eero Saarinen in 1948 for Florence Knoll, is a mid-century modern classic known for its curved, enveloping shape that offers comfort and flexibility. Made with a fiberglass shell, foam padding, and metal legs, it’s designed to support relaxed, informal sitting. Upholstered in wool, bouclé, or leather, it often comes with a matching ottoman. The chair blends sculptural form with cozy function, making it a design icon still produced by Knoll and featured in museums like MoMA.
