Scale model of the Womb Chair & Ottoman by Eero Saarinen, designed in 1948.

Regarded as one of the icons of postwar American Modernism, the Womb Chair & Ottoman is highly regarded. Now manufactured by Knoll International since 1948, it was originally known as 'Model No 7' and was the first piece of mass produced furniture in the history of design with an integrated seat shell made of reinforced plastic. Saarinen developed the chair to allow multiple seating positions for increased relaxation and cosiness which is reflected in the name.

As part of the Vitra Design Museum collection these miniature editions of classic chairs all form part of modern furniture design history.

The contruction, materials and colours correspond to the historical Vitra Design Museum collection originals, right down to the last detail. Because they are so true to the originals, the miniatures are not only valuable collector's items, but also ideal illustrative materials for universities, design colleges and architects.
