Risom Lounge Chair and Ottoman

Sale price$2,928.00 CAD

Regular price$3,904.00 CAD

A cornerstone of Knoll's legacy, the Risom Lounge Chair and Ottoman emerged in 1941 when designer Jens Risom partnered with founder Hans Knoll. Crafted from maple frames and repurposed military webbing—parachute straps and wartime surplus materials—this resourceful modernist set embodies lightweight construction and honest design that became instrumental in establishing Knoll's reputation as a leader in postwar American design. The solid wood frame and open cotton webbing keep both pieces visually light and physically airy, whether used together for relaxed seating and footrest support or positioned separately as sculptural accents throughout your home.

1 × Risom Lounge Chair

Designer

Jens Risom

Born in Denmark and educated at Copenhagen’s renowned School of Arts and Crafts, Jens Risom brought a distinctly Scandinavian sensibility to modern American furniture. After moving to New York in 1938, he met Hans Knoll and soon became the first designer to help shape Knoll’s early furniture identity.

As the creative force behind many of the brand’s inaugural pieces, Risom introduced a thoughtful, functional approach defined by simplicity, innovation, and efficient use of materials. His early designs laid the foundation for Knoll’s modernist legacy and secured his place as one of the most influential furniture designers of the twentieth century.
