Jens Risom (1916-2016), was a Danish American furniture designer. An exemplar of Mid-Century modern design, Risom was one of the first designers to introduce Scandinavian design in the United States, first with Knoll and then with his own design and manufacturing firm. In the mid-1950s Risom, working with photographer Richard Avedon, launched an advertising campaign with the tagline "The Answer is Risom." This 1955 furniture catalogue incorporates this ad campaign even as it illustrates the company's product lines.** "Postage for oversized and international shipping will be calculated by size and weight.
