The Risom Lounge 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®, it 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 deep seat pocket and tall backrest allow for comfortable and supportive reclining. In the place of bulky cushions are heavy-duty cotton straps, which are tightly basket-woven across the frame for strength and resilience. Greenguard; certified for sustainable materials and manufacturing. Each piece is stamped with the KnollStudio logo and the designer's signature. Manufactured by Knoll according to the original and exacting specifications of the designer. Made in U.S.A.
