By Jens Risom Risom A- Chair RISOM BY JENS RISOM RISOM A- CHAIR The A- Chair embodies Risom’s view that every design should be driven by a purpose. When it comes to sitting and socialising for hours, the A- Chair is a Comfort- conscious solution comprised of a curved shaped back that utterly invites you to relax and stay a while. Styled with an A- frame baCk support that cradles the entire chair while adding a signature design detail. The graCeful lines Coupled with the loose seat Cushion make this foam- filled chair even more appealing for any modern- day private residence, hotel, Corporate lobby, reCeption area, Club, CoCktail bar or restaurant. In addition to our vast array of fabriCs and leathers for the upholstery, you can personalize the chair with a choice of materials for the sculptured base, from walnut, natural oak and black oak to black steel. The A- Chair was originally designed by Risom in 1961. 2 RISOM MAGAZINE TABLE The Magazine Table personifies Risom’s emphasis on purpose as the driving force behind a design. With its rhythmic mix of straight and diagonal lines and carefully calibrated cut- outs and curves, the Magazine Table is both a sculpture and a practical piece of furniture with a unique built- in shelf. It was featured in the first comprehensive Jens Risom Design catalogue along with the slogan “Furniture with a signature”. Available in lacquered or black lacquered oak plywood, this timeless icon of Modernism is a welcome addition to any modern- day private residence, reception area, lobby or hotel room. The Risom Magazine Table was originally designed in 1949. 3 RISOM 65 SOFA The Risom 65 Sofa exemplifies his practical approach in a design that exudes exclusivity, with its bold architectural lines and recessed base that give the sofa a floating appearance. Adding comfort are the loose seat and back cushions, which fit neatly and discretely to create a singular entity that’s simple yet striking. Fabric covered cushions are reversible, whereas leather covers have a fabric panel partially covering the bottom surface for proper ventilation. Given its sleek, clean lines and plush, luxurious seating experience, the Risom 65 Sofa can easily be envisioned in any modern- day milieu, from private residences to hotels and restaurants. The Risom 65 Sofa was originally designed in 1965. 4 RISOM Magazine Table - Model 6500 A- Chair Wood Base - Model 6540 Series 65 Sofa - 2 seater, Series 65 Sofa - 3 seater W: 47 cm, L: 40,5 cm W: 82 cm, D: 76 cm Wood Base- Model 6500 Wood Base - Model 6553 H: 57,5 cm H: 88 cm, Sh: 42 cm W: 186 cm, D: 93 cm L: 266 cm, D: 93 cm H: 69 cm, Sh: 36 cm H: 69 cm, Sh: 36 cm A- Chair Metal Base - Model 6542 Series 65 Sofa - 2 seater Series 65 Sofa - 3 seater W: 82 cm, D: 76 cm Metal Base - Model 6562 Metal Base - Model 6500 H: 88 cm, Sh: 42 cm L: 186 cm, D: 93 cm L: 266 cm, D: 93 cm H: 69 cm, Sh: 36 cm H: 69 cm, Sh: 36 cm 5 MATERIALS Upholstery options (A- Chair & Risom 65 Sofas): Fabric group: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Leather group: 0, 1, 2, 3 Frame options: A- Chair: Oak lacquered, walnut lacquered, black lacquered / black steel, matt chrome Risom 65 Sofas: Black lacquered, oak lacquered / black steel, matt chrome Magazine: Black lacquered, oak lacquered Wood options: Oak black lacquered Oak oiled Walnut Oak lacquered Metal options: Black Matt chrome 6 A-Chair Wood Base – Model 6540 – Fabric (Sunniva 717) / Oak lacquered.

Magazine Table • Unique built- in shelf • Characteristic forward- moving design • Iconic design piece 14 JENS RISOM A Risom Renaissance Jens Risom (1916 - 2016) was a key figure who contributed to the Danish Modernism movement, considered the first designer to introduce a Scandinavian sense of aesthetics and focus on functionalism to America. After studying design at the Copenhagen School of Industrial Arts and Design, Risom trained under Kaare Klint, who led the furniture school at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. An opportunity Risom shared alongside fellow icons- in- the- making Hans J. Wegner and Børge Mogensen. Years later a chance meeting with the United States consulate in Copenhagen changed his life forever. Risom showed the diplomat sketches of his designs and, as Risom recalls, he said: ‘You should seriously consider going to America. We don’t have any furniture like this. I think you’d do very well.’ ” “Good design means that anything good will go well with other equally good things.” Soon thereafter at the age of 26, Risom moved to America and went on to make a name for himself with his stylish approach to timeless, functional designs and focus on natural materials. Jens Risom “Comfort vs. function in furniture can be quickly resolved. A well- designed sofa settles the question in one sitting.” 15 FREDERICIA.COM.

    Jens Risom Collection Jens Risom Collection One of the first designers to bring traditional Scandinavian values to the United States, Jens Risom was part of a new vanguard that helped establish post-war America’s leadership role in modern furniture design and manufacturing. Born in Denmark in 1916, Risom studied at the Copenhagen School of Industrial Arts and Design. He began his tutelage in the workshop of Kaare Klint in 1935 and subsequently joined Ernst Kuhn’s architectural office to design furniture and interiors. In 1939, Risom emigrated to the U.S. and joined forces with Hans Knoll, a furniture manufacturer in search of a good designer. The pair embarked on a three-month trip across the country, meeting with architects and designers to gather insight into the demand for modern furnishings. In 1941, the Risom Collection became the first full line of modern furniture to be commissioned and manufactured by Knoll. Constructed of simple birch wood frames and discarded parachute webbing because of wartime material restrictions, the Collection exhibits Risom’s taste for well-crafted Scandinavian Modernism with streamlined curves and angles. Risom initially described his furniture as “very basic, very simple, inexpensive and easy to make.” The Risom Collection now includes three finishes — Clear Maple, Ebonized Maple and Light Walnut — along with a modern color palette of cotton and nylon webbing. The Risom Collection reflects the KnollStudio® commitment to timeless, enduring design, continuing the Knoll legacy of producing furniture to the exacting standards of the designer and affirming our unwavering belief in the power and utility of modern design.
