Jens Risom

We love so many of contemporary furniture designers, but this post is dedicated to the late Danish designer Jens Risom who, along with other designers, joined forces after World War II with Hans Knoll to produce memorable home furnishings.

His lounge chair, desk, rocker, and other pieces are classics and excellent examples of utilitarian pieces that combine comfort and sculpture. Here is a video interview with Jens showing a home he built, now a shrine to his design talent.
