Description
Introducing an iconic Model 666 side chair attributed to the influential Jens Risom for Knoll. Build from a frame of solid Birch cut to sharp, archetypally Mid-Century Modern angles this instantly recognizable 666 chair harkens back to the beginning of Risom's design career first produced in 1941. Featuring new forest green webbing and a birch frame that is in 100% original vintage condition this 666 chair is ideal for collectors and designers alike searching for an early model that is ready for a lifetime more of use.
Jens Risom is widely considered to be a pioneer in introducing Danish modern furniture to the United States through early work with the Knoll company and to a greater extent through his own company, which thrived in the 1950s and '60s. Born in Denmark in 1916, Risom emigrated to the U.S. where he teamed up with Hans Knoll to start a decades-long collaboration between the two icons. Risom served in World War II under Gen. George Patton and upon his return to the civilian world he founded his own company, Jens Risom Design, in 1946.
Perfect behind a desk or as a stand alone accent chair this icon of the 40's and 50's is sure to make a BOLD impression in any space it inhabits. Able to blend a against a multitude of design backdrops from Mid-Century Modern to Contemporary to Industrial and everything in between this 666 chair is the last remaining of the original set of four so when its gone, its gone forever. Make it yours today.
