About the Item

With great reason, the name Jens Risom is synonymous with the Mid-Century Modern design movement. Hailing from Denmark, Risom’s talent quickly resonated with the great Hans Knoll after emigrating to the United States and together they launched the Hans Knoll Furniture Company in 1942. It is after this momentous start of Risom’s career that he would start his own line of furniture; Jens Risom Design Inc. This rarely seen “Model 108” Accent Chair is an absolute delight. It is proportionally perfect as are most Risom designs, allowing it to settle in with ease in any home setting. Our team selected a luxuriously soft Alpaca fabric in the color Cinnamon. The gorgeous walnut frame has been brought back to its original brilliance, it exhibits a subtle carve-out on each arm, a detail which attests to Risom’s masterful eye for design. While its original label has been lost, this is a well documented and catalogued Risom design. This Jens Risom chair is a celebration of both organic curvature as well as angular modernist design. The result of our work is a timeless chair made relevant again, an excellent addition to an intimate nook or perhaps a reading chair in a bedroom.

Otto Zapf Executive Chairs in Original Saddle Brown Leather by Knoll
By Knoll, Otto Zapf
Located in Stamford, CT
Otto Zapf, a distinguished German product designer, embarked on his career in his homeland, driven by an enduring passion for flexibility and human-centered design. By the time he joined forces with Knoll in 1973, Zapf was already an accomplished designer, and his transition was as seamless as the furniture he would go on to create for the iconic brand. Marrying a distinctly German design philosophy centered on systems with a deep commitment to humanism and ease of use, Zapf crafted pieces that were as functional as they were inviting. His Softline System, a modular office storage suite, epitomized this approach by combining rigid frames with soft, attachable fabric surfaces. This design ethos found further expression in his Executive Seating Collection, where soft, upholstered pads mounted onto spring steel frames resulted in a creation unmistakably true to Zapf’s vision. Zapf's commitment to "friendly design" is evident in every aspect of his Executive Seating Collection. He masterfully balanced the demands of comfort and ergonomics, crafting a chair that not only looks inviting but also offers unparalleled functionality—a hallmark of Knoll’s design philosophy. The innovative cushion system, a key feature of this chair, reflects Zapf's dedication to adaptability and ease of maintenance. Each of the five independent cushions can be effortlessly removed for repair or replacement, ensuring the chair’s longevity. The back cushions glide smoothly along dual rails of spring steel, adjusting to the user's preferred reclining position with natural ease. The result is a chair that not only welcomes but also adapts to the user, embodying the very essence of Zapf's design principles. This particular chair is no longer in production, making it highly sought after, especially when presented in the timeless Saddle Brown leather as shown. We currently have six of Otto Zapf’s Executive Chairs...
