Born in Copenhagen in 1916 and emigrated to the U.S. in 1939, Jens Risom made Danish modernism an important part of U.S. design. In 1941, he joined forces with fellow Danish émigré Hans Knoll, who soon launched his famous company with 20 pieces of furniture, 15 of which were designed by Risom. Many of these items, including the Risom Lounge Chair, are still produced by Knoll® today. After returning from WWII service, he started Jens Risom Design, Inc., where he designed, manufactured and sold furniture. Even today, Risom continues to create work that is simple, practical and beautiful. Manufactured by Knoll® according to the original specifications of the designer. Made in U.S.A.
