Saarinen Womb Ottoman Relax

Description

The Womb Ottoman Relax, designed by Eero Saarinen in 1948, is an essential part of the groundbreaking Womb Collection, which revolutionised furniture design in the mid-20th century. Like the Womb Chair, this ottoman defied conventional ideas of form and function, offering a nonprescriptive seating experience that embraces comfort from all angles. Saarinen’s design philosophy was rooted in the belief that people seek the primal comfort and security reminiscent of the womb, and the Womb Ottoman Relax perfectly complements this vision.

Crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail, the ottoman features a moulded fibreglass frame enveloped in high-quality fabric, available in Eva Night Blue, Polished Chrome Frame. Its ergonomic design supports your feet and legs, enhancing the Womb Chair Relax’s overall relaxation. This piece is not just an accessory but a crucial component of the Womb Collection, embodying the same spirit of innovation and comfort that has made the collection a lasting icon in modernist design.

ABOUT KNOLL – A Legacy of Modern Design

Knoll embodies a belief in the power of modern design—a philosophy that has guided the brand for over 80 years. Rooted in the Bauhaus design principle that modern furniture should complement architectural space rather than compete, Knoll has consistently upheld this ideal, creating environments where form and function coexist harmoniously.

Founded by Hans and Florence Knoll, the company draws inspiration from the innovative spirit of the Bauhaus School and the Cranbrook Academy of Art. Their vision of a new kind of furniture and workplace design, where craftsmanship and technology blend seamlessly, continues to shape Knoll’s values and informs every piece produced today.

For more than eight decades, Knoll has collaborated with pioneering modernists and bold contemporary designers, pushing the boundaries of design. Partnerships, from Florence Knoll’s timeless works to the innovative creations of Antenna Design, Don Chadwick, and David Adjaye, have defined the brand’s legacy and will continue to shape its future.

Knoll is more than just furniture; it is about creating connections—between people and their work, their lives, and their world. Recognised globally since 1938, Knoll’s workplace and residential furnishings are designed to inspire, adapt, and endure. The company’s commitment to modern design, deep understanding of the evolving workplace, and dedication to sustainability have culminated in a unique portfolio of products that respond to the changing needs of its customers.

This is Knoll’s story—a story of design that not only stands the test of time but also continues to lead the way forward.
