Finnish Modern Furniture Designer Eero Saarinen created the Womb Series, originally known as the “Wombat” in 1948. The Womb Series organic form is representative of the mid-century Scandinavian modernism style. The introduction of the loveseat Womb 2 seater brings increased seating capacity to the original inspired form.
The womb loveseat sofa offers to a seat for 2 in a relatively small footprint. The design of the Womb Chair is well known for its comfortable seating capability. The external metal frame lifts the body well off the floor providing a light airy feel. The Womb Series in the 2-seat loveseat configuration is relatively rare but highly sought after mid-century modern icon. The original designer believed strongly that the whole field of design is all one body. He had three design principles – Function, Structure and being part of the time.
Eero Saarinen designed with the human body form in mind. A simple concept yes, but many designers prefer aesthetics to functionality. In nearly every case, a piece of furniture that rises to become a classic has both striking artistic form as well as function. Its organic form is representative of the midcentury Scandinavian modernism style of furniture using synthetic materials to create inspired forms.

ABOUT CASHMERE WOOL TWEED
Cashmere wool fiber is obtained from “Cashmere goats.” Historically, fine-haired Cashmere goats have been called Capra hircus laniger, as if they were a subspecies of the domestic goat Capra Hircus. Cashmere goats produce a double fleece that consists of a fine, soft undercoat or under-down of hair mingled with a straighter and much coarser outer coating of hair called Guard Hair. For the fine under-down to be sold and processed further, it must be de-haired. De-hairing is a mechanical process that separates the coarse hairs from the fine hair. After this separating process, the resulting premium “cashmere” is ready to be dyed and converted into yarn.
