About the Designer: Jens Risom (1916–2016) was a Danish-American furniture designer and one of the key figures in bringing Scandinavian modern design to the United States. His 1943 collection for Knoll was the company’s first commissioned furniture collection and helped establish Knoll as an early leader in American modern design. Known for his refined use of wood, woven materials, and understated forms, Risom’s work remains highly regarded for its warmth, simplicity, and enduring modern appeal. Item Number: 1904-1
