Jens Risom, who turned 100 earlier this month, is one of the last surviving pioneers of the mid-century modern movement. Widely credited with introducing Scandinavian design to the United States, the Danish-born designer also played a pivotal role in the launch of the iconic furniture company, Knoll. Among Risom’s most notable designs are his Amoeba coffee table and his wood lounge chairs, which feature seats and backs made of woven nylon straps.
