Jens Risom is one of my all-time favorites. At 93 he is one of the last important mid-century designers still with us. Perhaps more impressive, Jens has continued practicing his trade. Recently, Design Within Reach released a new Risom line.
This little desk chair is quite sturdy and rather comfortable. The Risom bench is perhaps his Jens' most famous and desirable creation. This beauty has been completely redone.
