The Big Chair and Ottoman by Jens Risom in Navy Blue Velvet, C. 1950s
-
Description
This iconic Jens Risom lounge chair and ottoman set embodies the elegance and comfort of mid-century American design. Fully restored by our expert workshop, the chair features its distinctive high-back silhouette paired with gently sculpted arms—classic Risom proportions that balance bold presence with refined simplicity.
The walnut tripod-style legs have been meticulously refinished in a rich dark walnut, enhancing their warmth and architectural form. Both pieces are reupholstered in a luxurious navy blue cotton velvet, adding depth, softness, and a modern touch while remaining true to the set’s original character.
A timeless collector’s piece, this restored Risom ensemble offers exceptional craftsmanship, comfort, and design heritage—perfect for sophisticated interiors, reading corners, and statement seating moments.
