Know before you buy
The Womb Chair is specifically engineered to support a wide variety of lounging positions rather than just upright sitting. Its organic, shell-like shape is designed to cradle the body, allowing you to curl up, sit cross-legged, or recline comfortably.
The chair’s generous, wide seat and deep cushioning are designed to provide support for a range of heights and builds. Because the design encourages shifting positions, it remains comfortable for most users regardless of how they choose to sit.
For high-traffic areas, leathers like Volo or Acqua are excellent choices as they are durable and develop a beautiful patina over time. If you prefer a fabric, the Knoll Velvet or Ultrasuede options offer high performance and resilience while maintaining a soft, luxurious feel.
Yes, the Womb Chair has a substantial footprint due to its wide, sweeping frame. We recommend measuring your space to ensure you have enough clearance around the chair to appreciate its iconic silhouette and allow for easy entry and exit.
While the chair is primarily designed for relaxation and lounging, it provides excellent back and arm support for reading. However, because of its deep, reclined angle, it is not intended for upright tasks like desk work.
