Dwell speak to legendary designer Jens Risom about his beautiful home on Block Island off the New England coast. Originally from Copenhagen, he co-founded the Hans Knoll Furniture Company in 1942 and went on to be a leading force in Midcentury design not only in the U.S but worldwide. Here we get a look inside this prefab built in 1965, packed full of his own designs. Interestingly Risom was, and still is, a big fan of these easy to construct, affordable modular homes, championing this more accessible build throughout his career. Age 97, he has visited the retreat every year since its construction and, both in terms of architecture and interiors, it remains as breathtaking as ever.
