Jens Risom designed the original of the contemporaneous Risom Lounge in the year 1941 – simple seating furniture embossed by natural aesthetics.
Knoll manufactures the seating furniture since the 40es. Risom integrated belt-fabric-rests for his first designs; these ones have been used in the army becoming creatively used, unusual material for this lounger.
The Risom Lounge bribes with its Scandinavian purity and invites to rest. There are cotton stripes surrounding the wooden frame today, instead of the original belt rests. The cotton straps are interwoven and offer a comfortable seat.
Selected, surface treating maple wood is used for the seat’s frame. The seat is made out of pure cotton and available in red, black or a natural tone.
Jens Risom was born in Copenhagen in 1916. From 1935 to 1938 he attended the School for Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen where he trained under the furniture maker Kaare Klint and his fellow students included Hans Wegner. Designer Jens Risom
