Pair of Jens Risom Low Lounge Chairs Model U-431 in Walnut and Velvet

Description
Early pair of Jens Risom for Jens Risom Design Inc. low lounge chairs model #U-431 (this chair first appeared in the 1955 Jens Risom Design Inc. catalog and was already out of production by 1959). Composed of armless, walnut frames boasting sharp lines and rich grain. Maintaining the original design of the cushions, the headrest and seat have been newly upholstered in ochre velvet (as with the original cushions, the headrest wraps around the two back walnut bars, and the seat cushion attaches to the frame via 'strings' of fabric that tie in two places underneath). The foam has additionally been replaced. These vintage examples are scarcely seen.
Retain 'Jens Risom Design Inc' labels.
