Jens Risom : A Seat at the Table - Lowry, Vicky (London : Phaidon, 2022)
"Jens Risom was an icon of mid-century modern Danish design whose meticulously conceived furniture was intrumental in introducing Scandinavian design to the United States. His signature chairs for the inaugural collection of the celebrated Hans Knoll Furniture Company, with their webbed seats and backs, became instant classics still revered today. Over the course of a nearly eighty-year career, Risom revolutionized the look of homes and offices across the United States, ran his own manufacturing company, Jens Risom Design, and was still designing well into his nineties. Including never-before-seen archival imagery and an illustrated chronology of his work, 'Jens Risom: A Seat at the Table' reveals the story of Risom's life and career as never before. Exploring his education and training in Denmark, his early success in America, and contemporary renaissance, this book cements Risom's reputation as one of the most enduring and influential designers of the twentieth century."
