risom outdoor square side table
Design Jens Risom, 1943/2018
Solid teak lumber with oiled finish
Made by Knoll
Jens Risom's original 1941 collection for Knoll incorporates a natural aesthetic, characteristic of understated Scandinavian design. Risom's tables display the same sturdy, straightforward construction and organic shapes that embody his distinctive style.
Described as good, honest furniture design, the Risom Collection helped establish Knoll as an early source of modern design in America. Three-quarters of a century later, selected products from the original collection have been re-engineered for outdoor use. Oiled teak tops and frames ready these classics for a life outside.
Danish-born Jens Risom immigrated to the United States in 1939 and designed Knoll's first commissioned 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 consisting of interchangeable standard components. Risom was knighted by Queen Margrethe II of Denmark in 1996.
The Risom outdoor tables are available with a square or round top. They feature solid teak wood with an oiled finish. Please note: teak will patina over time if left outdoors and will turn a silvery grey color. Teak oil can be applied with a paint brush every three months to maintain a rich color.
