EARLY PRODUCTION KNOLL WOMB CHAIR

When Florence Knoll commissioned Eero Saarinen to design her a lounge chair, she had one request, that it, “feel like a basket of pillows,” so when we picked up this early production example, we decided to lean into this promise.

The original crumbling foam stuck to the fiberglass shell was replaced with new, high-density polyurethane foam. Then the shell was traditionally reupholstered in ‘Winter White’ Teddy Boucle by Holly Hunt.

Finally, new foam cushions were cut, shaped, sanded, then upholstered in Bison hide, sourced from a local Montana farm.
