Jens Risom has been a part of the DWR family from the beginning, which is why it’s appropriate that he should be involved with one of the first projects by DWR Design Studio. In 2007, we started collaborating with Risom to reintroduce a Chair and Ottoman he originally designed in 1949 for the Caribe Hilton Hotel in Puerto Rico. Risom worked closely with us through every step of this process, from reviewing prototypes to advocating cost-effective changes in manufacturing. The Jens Chair and Ottoman (2008) look the same as the ones made in 1949, but thanks to Risom’s input, they are smarter solutions that take advantage of tools that weren’t available 60 years ago. This collection has a Scandinavian sensibility that works with modern and traditional settings. Or, as Risom put it, “Good design means that anything good will go well with other equally good things.” The reversible cushions have removable slipcovers for cleaning.
