"The Womb Chair. Made by Eero Saarinen in 1946, the comfort level of the Womb Chair is right in the name-think of any verb that's associated with sitting in a chair, add "like a baby" to the end of it, and that's what the feeling of sitting in the Womb Chair is meant to be. Sure, on a purely surface level, the overall design and aesthetic is pretty simple."
"Material and color aren't the only ways to make a statement. You can also do it through shape, like the Egg Chair by Danish architect Arne Jacobsen. This modern interpretation of a wingback chair was first created by Jacobsen in 1958 for the Scandinavian Airlines System (SAS) Royal Copenhagen Hotel in Denmark. It was manufactured in Poland by Fritz Hansen, which continues to produce the chair today."
Womb Chair, designed by Eero Saarinen in 1946, prioritizes enveloping comfort with a soft, pillow-like seat that encourages sinking and nurtured relaxation. Egg Chair, created by Arne Jacobsen in 1958 for the SAS Royal Copenhagen Hotel and produced by Fritz Hansen, interprets a wingback with a curving shell that offers sturdy back support and an inviting nest for reading or relaxing. Ekstrem chair, designed by Terje Ekstrøm in 1984, presents an otherworldly, twisting silhouette with vibrant color and plush upholstery that combines sculptural form, negative space, and ergonomic support for reclining and elbow rest.
