Jens Risom's original 1941 collection for Knoll incorporates a natural aesthetic characteristic of understated Scandinavian design. Danish born Risom immigrated to the U.S. in 1939 and designed Knoll's first collection including a range of simple birchwood chairs in 1941. After World War II, he founded his own company and was among the first to manufacture furniture consisiting of interchangeable standard components. Risom was knighted by Queen Margrethe II of Denmark in 1996.
