Model T.539 side table, designed by Jens Risom for his eponymous company in 1949. The design is defined by its sharp, wedge-shaped profile, with an angled support, broad walnut top, and integrated magazine rack handled with real economy. The shaped lip and cutout detail reflect the kind of thoughtful woodworking that defines the piece. The walnut grain reads beautifully across the surface..
A refined and highly functional American modern design, with excellent proportions and a strong architectural silhouette. In wonderful condition, with the wood carefully cleaned and polished. Retaining its original Jens Risom label to the underside.
