Danish-American designer Jens Risom (1916 – 2016) was a key figure in the mid-century modern design movement and one of the first to introduce Scandinavian design to the United States. Many of his most poignant designs are still in production today and continue to be highly collectible — his furniture pieces formed the core of the inaugural collection of the iconic Hans Knoll Furniture Company. Now Phaidon presents the first authoritative biography on the influential designer, covering everything from his education in Denmark to the establishment of Jen Risom Design, collaborations with Georg Jensen and Hans Knoll and Risom's enduring legacy.
