Saarinen Style Lounge Chairs
As sculptor and architect, Eero Saarinen's work includes his Model 70 Chair, which became to be known as the "Womb Chair". Designed in 1948 and is considered among the ten best mid-century modern furniture designs. Our version of the Model 70 Lounge Chair is inspired by the Womb Chair is faithful to the original design, with a few minor differences. For instance, we use a molded fiber-reinforced internal shell, not a plastic shell. Our legs are stainless steel, not chrome plated steel. Our upholstery is what sets our version apart from all others on the market. Our fabric is made in North America and is 100% polyester made from recycled plastic. This fabric is a textured or boucle surface and is extremely durable (250K double rubs) and is water and stain resistant.
Also in this category, is the new item to our line, a lounge chair created by Mr. Saarinen for the GM Technology Center in Detriot MI.
