Description
Eero Saarinen designed the groundbreaking Womb Chair at Florence Knoll's request for “a chair that was like a basket full of pillows - something she could really curl up in”. This mid-century classic supports countless positions and offers a comforting oasis of calm—hence the name. The new relax edition has softer upholstery than the classic ans at a lower price point.
Our Stylist Says
The Womb Chair Relax Edition is a fantastic accent piece that combines contemporary style with vintage charm. I love its bold red upholstery and sleek black frame, which make it a real statement in any room. It works particularly well in modern or eclectic interiors where colour and form are key, adding a pop of vibrancy or acting as a focal point. Practical styling tips include pairing it with neutral or minimalist surrounds to let the chair stand out, or with complementary reds or blacks for a coordinated look. Its inviting shape also makes it perfect for creating cosy corners, reading nooks, or lounge areas in living or bedroom spaces.

About Heal's
Explore from Heal's. Founded in 1810, Heal's are an iconic brand with a history of innovation, and are synonymous with timeless elegance and exceptional design.
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
