Product Description

The Risom Sitting Stool is a direct descendant of Jens Risom's original 1941 Knoll collection — the maple frame and cotton webbing construction that defined the line from the start, scaled down to a low stool format. Where the side chair is built for the table, the sitting stool occupies a more informal register: low enough to work as occasional seating in a living room, beside a bed, or at the end of a sofa, and compact enough to tuck away when not in use. Described as good, honest furniture design, the collection helped establish Knoll as an early source of modern design in America.

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.
