Jens Risom (born 1916) is one of the most influential furniture designers of the 20th Century. One of the first designers to bring the traditional Scandinavian values of function and craftmanship to the US.
He was part of a new vanguard that helped establish post-war America's leadership role in modern furniture design and manufacturing.
His chairs are in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Yale Museum of Art & Design, and many others.
In 1996 Risom was knighted in Denmark.
In 1997 Knoll reissued a collection of Risom-designed chairs, stools and tables that remain today a successful part of the Knoll line.
