Risom Side Chair
Price € 1.427,00
The Risom chair is part of the first complete collection of interior furnishings commissioned and produced by Knoll. Born in the 40s from the design of Jens Risom, it presents an elegant variety of seating for the living area correlated by stools, poufs, coffee tables and tables in each of which you can clearly distinguish the use of intertwined straps to form a checkered pattern. Risom's initial idea was to use the disused parachute straps as they are solid and capable of withstanding various types of prolonged friction. Today the Risom collection boasts numerous pieces in different finishes and colors, of which we mention maple wood, robust and warm. Ideal for the dining room, it also adapts perfectly to the kitchen and convivial environments.

Landed in the United States at the beginning of the ‘30s, Hans Knoll, a young German-born son of a furniture-maker in Stuttgart, proposed to import into the new continent the modern European design, contemporary heritage of the Bauhaus. Died prematurely, his work was continued by his wife, Florence Knoll, who succeeded in establishing lasting partnerships with some of the greatest exponents of the modernist movement. Few years later the Knoll Associates was founded. Today, Knoll is not only a company of re-selling historic furnishings of great artistic value, but continues to innovate by offering creations of the major international design brands both in the home area and in the office furnitures sector.Read more
Designed by
Jens Risom
Jens Risom (1916-2016) through his work built a bridge between American design and Scandinavian modernism. His own biography tells the story of a figure divided between these two worlds: born in Denmark, son of the famous architect Sven Risom, he was a pupil of the great Kaare Klint and emigrated to the United States in 1938, initially dealing with textile design. In the 1940s he met the young Hans Knoll and became one of the pillars of the nascent Knoll Inc.: The first designer to work for the brand, he imposed his measured and welcoming style, often played on a wide use of wood. In 1943 he enlisted for the American army and fought in the Second World War, and on his return to the company his ideas no longer found a place, supplanted by the passion for modernism and the Bauhaus of Hans's wife, Florence Knoll. He then founded his own brand, Jens Risom Design (JRD), long one of the most popular in the industry, so much so that one of his office chairs was chosen by President Lyndon Johnson to be used in the Oval Office of the White House. Among the numerous awards obtained in his two homelands, the Knighthood conferred on him in 1996 by the Queen of Denmark Margaret II stands out. Since 1997 Knoll has successfully put his creations back into production, but his signature also appears in the proposals of brands such as Design Within Reach, Stellar Works, Fredericia and De Padova.Read more
