Spotlight On...Saarinen's Womb Chair

I'm a big fan of Eero Saarninen's designs (I wrote about his Pedestal Table here). I really love his womb chair for its simplicity combined with comfort. Finnish designer Saarinen created the womb chair for Knoll in 1946 and it remains one of the most iconic and replicated mid-century designs in the world. You can see why.

This chair is so versatile that it fits in any space and looks fab in any colour.  The real deal is expensive, but you can find great knock-off versions, or even better, you could get lucky and find a great vintage piece at a thrift market or on ebay.

Do you love this chair as much as I do?
