Midcentury Arm Chair by Jens Risom in Walnut, Circa 1968. Solid American black walnut frame features gorgeous figured grain throughout. Exaggerated blade arm rests. Newly upholstered in new Yellow Harris Tweed by Craig Hughes From the TV show ‘Salvage Hunters The Restorers “ This timeless classic has been fully restored and is in excellent condition. All joinery is sound and secure. Risom trained in furniture making at the Copenhagen School of Industrial Arts and Design under Ole Wanscher, alongside classmates Hans Wegner and Borge Mogensen. In 1939, a year after graduating from business school, Risom decided to move to the U.S. While working for an interior designer in New York in 1941, he met Hans Knoll, and the businessman and the designer hit it off. In the course of his long career, Risom developed a stylistic vocabulary that was a reflection of the life of the man himself: his furniture has Danish warmth coupled with an American air of crisp efficiency. A Risom chair is almost instantly recognisable — the arms and seat backs are set at a distinctive angle that seems to invite people to sit back and relax.
