Wombat Ottoman

Description

The Wombat Ottoman is a classic modern reproduction of Eero Saarinen's Womb Ottoman which was originally created in 1948. Florence Knoll challenged Finnish-born architect and designer Eero Saarinen to create a chair that she could curl up in. It turns out that out that Saarinen was the perfect 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 modern design. In fact, ask most designers and architects what lounge chair design they covet and they'll promptly tell you it's the Womb Chair. By applying foam molded over a fiberglass shell, Saarinen was able to create a single-piece form that perfectly facilitated a relaxed sitting posture and a sublime feeling of security. Additional seat and back cushions and the coordinating Womb Ottoman provide a further degree of lavish comfort. The Wombat Chair features a stainless steel base and is made of full wool melton.
