Hi there
That’s a Womb Chair by Eero Saarinen for Knoll. From their website “The 1948 Womb chair, made exclusively for Knoll, displays the Finnish-born designer’s flair for challenging rules, breaking molds and setting new standards for modern design.”

Dave

A friend at work cued me in to this post. Had no idea you were an HMI contributor. Very cool for you, and they.

You’re tireless. Thanks for yet another great share. I’m a Dave and Herman Miller fan.

Great post!

I’ve recently come across some amazing photos of designers in the Oakland California area. One in particular, Dee Adams has a brilliant artists loft who also has a unique take on mid-century design and her illustration work is stunning. I’m really enjoying how many modern designers are taking their cues from the MCM era in their own style and in the way they’re reinterpreting the influence.
