Basic information

Saarinen Womb Settee Knoll

Designed by Eero Saarinen in 1948.

A Womb Chair fit for two. The double-wide design is the perfect modern refuge for the living room, bedroom or office. Initially, the fit-for-two settee was not part of the designer's famous trio—the Model 70 Womb Chair, Model 71 Executive Arm Chair and Model 72 Executive Armless Chair—but, rather, developed in anticipation of Saarinen’s first big architectural commission: The General Motors Technical Center in Warren, Michigan—a twenty-five-building complex that required furnishings for over 5,000 people. Seat shell is foam-covered molded fiberglass. Base is steel rod with polished chrome or black paint.
