width 40 in; depth 35 in; height 35 in. The womb chair was designed by architect Eero Saarinen in 1943 since he believed that a great number of people have never really felt comfortable and secure since they left the womb. Since 1943, the chair has represented the epitome of mid-century modern style, elegance and comfort. This version is in electric blue with black legs. Some fading and wear on the upholstery consistent with its age.
