The Risom Side Chair (1941), by Danish designer Jens Risom, is testament to the simplicity and ingenuity that is so often found in timeless modern designs. Widely known as the first chair to be designed for Knoll®, the Risom Chair brought the natural materials and understated form of Scandinavian design to large-scale U.S. production. The streamlined maple hardwood frame is expertly joined with mortise and tenon construction. A comfortable seat and backrest provide support. In the place of bulky cushions are heavy-duty cotton straps, which are tightly basket-woven across the frame for strength and resilience. The Risom Side Chair is Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified® for its use of low emitting products. Manufactured by Knoll according to the original specifications of the designer. Made in U.S.A.
