A walk down memory lane —
Launched posthumously as an homage to Jens Risom, the Block Island Collection was envisioned as a welcoming retreat to sit and rest for a walking trail next to Risom’s family vacation home. This outdoor bench is made of durable solid teak wood.
Details
Durable solid teak bench
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 bench is made of grade-A teak harvested from strictly managed plantations, ensuring its sustainability. Made in Indonesia.
