Jens Risom Cabinets

Danish, American, 1916-2016

The Danish-born Jens Risom brought the Scandinavian modern 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.

Risom trained in furniture making at the Copenhagen School of Industrial Arts and Design under Ole Wanscher, alongside classmates Hans Wegner and Børge 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. They brought out their first line the next year, despite wartime materials restrictions. The signature piece — now a design icon — was a lounge chair with a striking, undulant birch frame and a seat made of webbed sub-military grade parachute straps. Risom was drafted into the army, and served as a translator under General George Patton. When he returned from the war, Risom clashed over furniture design ideals with his business partner’s new bride, Florence Knoll, the pioneering mid-century modernist who was schooled in the Bauhaus method, which favored furniture with strict, geometric metal frames. Risom then started his own company, Jens Risom Design.

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. Vintage Risom chairs are almost instantly recognizable — the arms and seat backs are set at a distinctive angle that seems to invite people to sit back and relax, yet they know they can hop up in an instant, ready to go.

As you will see on these pages, Jens Risom is one of the great men of American modern design who made furniture that is unique and timeless.

Located in Chattanooga, TN

This 3-piece set was delicately restored to preserve the original dark patina and we are beyond elated with the end results. We love this line and have never had them in our clutches until now. Because of the variations in walnut grain and the individual aging process, these cabinets are dripping with character. We did our absolute best to recondition these pieces while preserving their dark, oily patina. The tops were professionally refinished by our in-house cabinet shop to match the original and untouched sections. Otherwise detailed top to bottom, inside and out. Designed in the 1960s by famed designer Jens Risom, the key design elements are truly the materials themselves. A mix of solid walnut and walnut veneers over hardwood. The fit, finish and construction is superb. The drawers glide effortlessly on metal rails and the cabinet doors are hung straight as an arrow. The disciplined MCM minimalist style is delicately contrasted and accentuated by the signature carved wood pulls and polished brass back-plates. Stand all three cabinets side by side in any arrangement to create one massive credenza...
