"Good design means that anything good will go well with other equally good things." -Jens Risom
Originally designed by Jens Risom in 1961 the A-Chair is a graceful expression of an elegant, upholstered chair in a timeless design, boasting an A-frame in the back for added support and as signature detail. The graceful lines of the two-piece back and loose seat cushion accentuate the comfort and softness of this foam-filled chair with a base available in black lacquered steel or matte chrome. An appealing addition for any modern-day private residence, hotel, corporate lobby, reception area, club, cocktail bar or restaurant.
Jens Risom was part of the golden generation of designers during the Danish Modernism movement. Risom introduced Scandinavian design to America and went on to influence the global design scene. After making a name for himself in New York, Risom left a legacy of streamlined designs known for their simplicity, uniformity and continuity of style.
