Story
The side chair, woven for outdoors
Knoll's shop dates the Risom Side Chair to 1942 and calls it one of the first pieces the company commissioned; the outdoor edition has a teak frame and Sunbrella straps that run across both seat and back. The shop's feature list stresses a comfortable seat in durable, water-repellent, fade-resistant webbing.
