One of the most iconic pieces of the Knoll company, capable since its design in 1946 to set the pace for elegance, style and structural harmony. The Womb sofa was born from the hand of the designer Eero Saarinen and at the request of Florence Knoll who at the time commissioned a seat that resembled a basket full of cushions and in which it was possible to curl up in total comfort. From that request Womb was born, one of the most characteristic furnishing piece that combines the softness of the polyurethane structure with a solid steel core anchored to thin feet capable of lightening the overall shapes. A unique piece of furniture, a guarantee of authenticity for any design enthusiast who wishes to enrich the environments of his thing with style.

Landed in the United States at the beginning of the ‘30s, Hans Knoll, a young German-born son of a furniture-maker in Stuttgart, proposed to import into the new continent the modern European design, contemporary heritage of the Bauhaus. Died prematurely, his work was continued by his wife, Florence Knoll, who succeeded in establishing lasting partnerships with some of the greatest exponents of the modernist movement. Few years later the Knoll Associates was founded. Today, Knoll is not only a company of re-selling historic furnishings of great artistic value, but continues to innovate by offering creations of the major international design brands both in the home area and in the office furnitures sector.Read more
Designed by
Eero Saarinen
Eero Saarinen (1910-1961), an American architect and designer of Finnish origins, left a fundamental impetus for the development of Modernism, combining the use of new materials with organic forms rich in curves, with a strong sculptural impact. Son of the famous architect Eliel Saarinen, he grew up in an environment permeated by a passion for design and studied sculpture in Paris and architecture at Yale. He was a close friend of Charles Eames, with whom he won first prize in the "Organic Design in Home Furnishings" competition, and of Florence Knoll, who was his father's favorite pupil. And it was the Florence-based company, Knoll International, that put into production all the most famous creations by Eero Saarinen, still among the brand's great bestsellers. Among his most famous buildings, Terminal 5 at John F. Kennedy airport in New York and the Gateway Arch, a symbolic monument of the city of St. Louis.Read more
