Rare Early Eero Saarinen Womb Sofa / Settee, Knoll, USA
Rare Early Eero Saarinen Womb Sofa / Settee, Knoll, USA. A very rare early production Eero Saarinen womb settee, made by Knoll, USA, 1950s or early 1960s. Fibreglass, black enameled steel frames and first edition feet / glides. Original upholstery is in amazing condition. A true time capsule. The foam is hard but intact. The Womb Sofa is a two-seater sofa designed by Eero Saarinen in 1948. It is a double-wide version of the iconic Womb chair, acclaimed as one of the most comfortable modern chairs produced. The Womb Sofa was developed for Saarinen’s first big architectural commission: The General Motors Technical Center in Warren, Michigan – a twenty-five-building complex that required furnishings for over 5,000 people. The Womb Sofa was designed to replace the clumsy, oversized sofa models of the time, Saarinen wrote: These dreadnaughts [have] disappeared from modern interiors partly because they were designed for an era that tried to impress by sheer mass. ” While such robust forms may have gone out of vogue, Saarinen saw their necessary function as timeless: “The need for such chairs has not passed. Today, more than ever, we need to relax. Height: 36.03 in (91.5 cm). Width: 60.63 in (154 cm). Depth: 36.03 in (91.5 cm). Seat Height: 16.54 in (42 cm).

Rare 1st Gen. Womb Chair & Ottoman by Saarinen for Knoll Early circa 1948
Womb Chair & Ottoman 1st Generation KNOLL. This rare first generation Model 70 Chair and matching ottoman (VERY RARE to find both together from this period) more commonly known as the Womb Chair, by Eero Saarinen for Knoll Associates. Confirmed by the un-afixed label (which will be included) with the early 36-30 Steinway St Long Island City 1, N. Address (see pics) which predates the use of zip codes. The frame and feet match Knoll’s example for the 1948 first year productions for the iconic Womb Chair, and the matched label further supports this. This lounge chair and ottoman are being offered as as set for either a collector’s piece to keep and hold as-is with its current original hopsack (very Cato-esque) textile (I believe wool) or alternatively this could be a designer’s reupholstery project for the client who wishes to have the best of the best. I personally would look into having the fabric cleaned and repaired as a great deal of the fabric is still in amazing condition and it is so incredibly beautiful. The fabric shows signs of use and wear with a few tears and pulling, and the foam has hardened and is disintegrating. If regular use is intended, reupholstery with new foam and fabric (or leather) is advised. Additionally there is a small crack in one of the legs (see last pic) near the where the screw hole is. The Ottoman has some bent plywood delimitation (see 2nd to last pic) about 1.5-2 inches wide on both sides of the ottoman, which again is a minor repair if you were to choose to reupholster the piece. Please understand that everything on both the chair and ottoman are original and untouched. These 1st generation Womb chairs were made quite differently than modern production Womb Chais (bent plywood AND fiberglass) and as such it has a weight and presence that the new ones don’t have. Florence Knoll requested that Eero Saarinen design a chair like a basket full of pillows, the result was the groundbreaking Womb armchair. This iconic piece would be a great addition as part of a classic or contemporary living room, den, man or woman! Cave, family room, office or bedroom. It would also be an apt choice in a corporate, retail or hospitality location such as a boutique hotel lobby, cocktail bar, members club, workspace studio, executive office or in a luxe clothing emporium.

RARE Set 4 Knoll Tulip Armrest Chairs with tulip table 48 Eero Saarinen Modern
Vintage Set of 4 Knoll Eero Saarinen Tullip Armrest Chairs with tulip table that is 48″ in diameter and 28″ tall. Chairs have cushions that I believe are original, seat cushion is 18″ from ground, is 26″ wide at widest point (edge of armrests), and seat back is 30 tall. I don’t believe table is a Knoll, but the captain chairs are and all are marked with the Knoll sticker on the base. One chair is loose where the base meets the fiberglass seat and will need some work. There is a nick in side of fiberglass side (see photos) of chair and the finish is peeling on some chairs. This would make a nice refinish project for someone that has fiberglass and painting skills.
