Jens Risom
The Jens Risom Story
Jens Risom, a Danish-American designer, played a pivotal role in introducing Scandinavian design to the United States during the mid-20th century. Born in Copenhagen in 1916, Risom was heavily influenced by the functionalist approach of his early training at the Copenhagen School of Industrial Arts and Design. He moved to the U.S. in 1939, bringing with him a design philosophy that emphasized simplicity, functionality, and natural materials. Risom's legacy is marked by his role in the development of mid-century modern furniture, particularly his iconic designs for chairs and tables during his time with the Knoll company.
