Jens Risom Side Chair Replica 80023

The Jens Risom Style Side Chair is a high quality reproduction in the style of the original design.

The first drafts of the design were presented in 1939 in ' Collie's House of Ideas' at the world exhibition in New York. In the early 40's, Jens Risom, together with Hans Knoll, founded the Hans Knoll Furniture Company where the Risom '600' series was designed. Because of the war and the shortage of materials, the chair was originally made out of parachutes.

Jens Rison worked as a designer of both furniture and interiors at the Copenhagen office of Ernst Kuhn. He later moved to the United States and became the design director of Dan Cooper in New York. His designs heavily influenced the work of the mid-20th century and have proven to have remarkable staying power, with several pieces like the Risom Lounge Chair and Ottoman remaining a favorite today.
