Exhibition
Jens Risom Furniture at Rocket Gallery
July 02–September 04
Rocket Gallery, Tea Building , 56 Shoreditch High Street, London, England E1 6JJ
Danish-born American designer Jens Risom--one of the first designers to bring the traditional Scandinavian values of function and craftsmanship to the United States--has collaborated with Rocket Gallery and Benchmark Furniture in an exhibition that's part of the 2010 London Design Festival.
Mar Mar Co., in collaboration with Rocket Gallery, are showing some pieces from the new re-issue of Risom’s classic designs from the 1950s and 1960s. These pieces have been made by Benchmark with the close involvement of the ninety-four year old Risom himself.
