Jens Risom
The Danish-born Jens Risom brought the Scandinavian design sensibility to a wide audience in the United States. As the first designer for Knoll Inc., Risom introduced American buyers to the region’s enduring design values of simplicity, grace, and craftsmanship. By the 1960s, Risom was designing under his own name and company. Risom’s works are warm and peaceful symbols of modernism. A perfect example is his home he designed in Block Island, Rhode Island.
