Pair of Bouclé Slipper Chairs Designed by Jens Risom for H.G. Knoll Associates

Jens Risom for H.G. Knoll Associates armless slipper chairs composed of upholstered seats supported by walnut bases (first appearing in the 1942 Knoll catalog).
There is a slight design disparity between the two chairs – the wood joinery in the back base of one of the chairs isn’t present in the other (one chair is an early production ca. 1942, while the other was likely manufactured roughly four years later before Risom’s departure from Knoll).
Newly reupholstered in an off-white/wheat Kravet bouclé (36114-106) with button-tufted back detail. The foam has additionally been replaced. The bases have been newly refinished. Scuffs/wear remains to one base, as shown.
Measures: H: 31″ x L: 22.5″/23″ x D: 30″ x Seat Height: 17.5″ / 17″ (there is a very slight dimensional disparity between the two chairs).
Retains the Knoll manufacturing tag on the reverse of one chair.
