It's nothing new, and first came onto the scene in the mid-century, when architect, Florence Knoll asked designer Eero Saarinen to fashion her a chair that she could 'really curl up in'. It ushered in the creation of the Womb Chair in tight, looped rings of wool, and quickly became a pinnacle of mid-century design.
