An ebonised dining suite
designed by Jens Risom, c.1946, for Knoll Inc., comprising a dining table, the rectangular top with two leaves on outswept square tapering legs -- 72½in. (184cm.) extended; and a set of six matching dining chairs, each with padded back and seat, some chairs retaining original transfer label Knoll Inc. 601 Madison Avenue, New York 22, NY

The side chair 666 WSP was the first chair to be retailed through Knoll Inc.. Originally produced with a webbing seat in 1942 to comply with wartime restrictions on materials, the chair was redesigned in 1946 with a slight alteration to the positioning of the rear leg.

The address on the transfer label indicates that these chairs were produced between 1946 and 1951
