RISOM SEATING AND TABLES Jens Risom designed a complete line of simple modern chairs and tables that could be made locally. Risom’s approach was perfectly suited for the challenge: “Design is a creative effort to successfully solve problems; ‘good design,’ therefore, is a ‘good solution’ which must satisfy the many requirements.” Risom described the resulting furniture as “very basic, very simple, inexpensive, and easy to make.”

JENS RISOM The first true Knoll designer, Risom joined the young Hans Knoll Furniture Company in the early 1940s as the sole designer of interiors and furniture. Working ingeniously within the constraints of wartime material shortages, Risom developed several chairs and tables using scraps of wood and rejected nylon straps from parachute production. Despite these constraints, Risom was able to design innovative and truly modern pieces of furniture.
