As featured in Bookforum, ELLE Decor, and Interior Design Magazine
The first and only monograph on the life and work of the iconic
Danish-American mid-century furniture designer Jens Risom - an
unsung hero of Mid-Century Modern design Jens Risom, a key figure
in mid-century modern design, was one of the first designers to
introduce Scandinavian design to the United States and his highly
collectible original work is currently selling for large sums at
auction. In 1942, Risom's designs formed the majority of the
inaugural collection of original furniture for the iconic Hans
Knoll Furniture Company and many of his key pieces are still in
production today, by leading manufacturers including Knoll, Design
Within Reach, De Padova, Camira, and Ralph Pucci. This, the first
authoritative biography of Risom, spans his education in Denmark,
early collaborations with Georg Jensen and Hans Knoll, the creation
of his own company - Jen Risom Design - his celebrated prefab house
on Block Island, RI, as well as his legacy and presence in the 21st
century. With unique access to a plethora of never-before-seen
sketches, photographs and ephemera, this book proves, as the
immortal slogan in his iconic ad campaign shot by Richard Avedon
tells us, 'The answer is Risom'.
