Design Within Reach Block Island Sofa

In 1967, Jens Risom built his family’s vacation home on Block Island, Rhode Island. For a walking trail next to the property, he drew plans for outdoor furniture meant to provide a place for passersby to enjoy their surroundings. This collection fell by the wayside until he died at age 100 in 2016. We’re honored to bring the Block Island Collection (2019) to life posthumously as an homage to Risom. This outdoor chair is made of grade-A teak harvested from strictly managed plantations, ensuring its sustainability. Made in Indonesia.
