Description
Lovely and comfortable pair of Mid-Century Modern slipper chairs attributed to Jens Risom for Knoll, circa 1950s–1960s. While no maker's tags or markings remain, the high-quality construction"”sprung seats, sturdy period frames, and solid ash or beech wood legs"”strongly suggests Risom's signature design style and craftsmanship.
