Jens Risom furniture re-launched

Jens Risom was one of the first designers to bring the traditional Scandinavian values of function and craftsmanship to the United States. He was part of a new vanguard that helped establish post-war America’s leadership role in the world of modern furniture design and manufacturing. Born in Copenhagen on May 8, 1916, Risom was highly influenced by his award-winning architect-father, Sven Risom, who encouraged Jens to pursue academic studies in business and contemporary design. Now his iconic design is re-launched.
