Knoll Womb Chair

The medium and large sizes are scaled differently to accommodate various body types and room proportions. The large version offers a more expansive seating area, while the medium provides a slightly more compact footprint without sacrificing the chair's signature ergonomic support.

The Womb Chair is typically delivered as a finished piece. Because of its weight and the delicate nature of the fiberglass shell and upholstery, it is recommended to have professional white-glove delivery to ensure it is placed correctly in your space.

The molded fiberglass and resin shell provides a rigid, durable structure that maintains the chair's iconic shape over time. This shell is then layered with high-quality foam, ensuring that you get a supportive, cradling feel that contours to your body rather than a soft, sinking sensation.

The Womb Chair is designed as a cohesive set, and the ottoman is included to complete the ergonomic experience. It is specifically engineered to match the chair's height and angle, allowing for the various relaxed sitting positions Saarinen intended.

For the upholstery, regular light vacuuming and professional cleaning are recommended depending on the fabric choice. The metal base finishes, such as Polished Chrome or 18k Gold Plated, can be kept clean by wiping them down with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to prevent fingerprints and dust buildup.

While the Womb Chair is a substantial statement piece, its open, sculptural design prevents it from feeling visually heavy. However, given its 40-inch depth, you should measure your floor space carefully to ensure there is enough clearance for the ottoman and comfortable movement around the piece.
