Principal Chair & Table Bodil Kjaer, 1961
Principal Chair & Table Bodil Kjaer, 1961

Including a dining table and an upholstered chair, the Principal series embodies the avant-garde vision of Bodil Kjær, whose modernist, cosmopolitan language slips seamlessly into contemporary interiors. 

Bodil Kjær, who was one of the pioneers of mid-century Scandinavian design and an important woman in architecture in her day, conceived her Principal series in 1961 as part of an architectural exploration of interior solutions for modern living, called Elements of Architecture.

Principal Chair & Table Bodil Kjaer, 1961

The solid wood dining table has a clear form, repeating a simple angle on the legs and ends of the tabletop, while the dining chair, with its circular seat and delicately rounded, beautifully upholstered back, adds softness to the geometry.

Bodil Kjær

Bodil Kjaer

Bodil Kjær is an influential Danish designer and teacher. She has designed a large number of pieces of furniture, or rather "architectural elements" as she likes to call them.

Bodil Kjær has traveled all over the world, providing her with much inspiration. Not only were her creations innovative, but she also played an active role in spreading the principles of modern Danish design. Her aim was to create functional furniture systems that could function in both private and working environments. Her work is also influenced by the encounter between design and architecture.

Throughout her career, she has continued to travel. She studied architecture in London and learned to create designs alongside renowned designers such as Finn Juhl and Jørgen Ditzel. After a year in the USA, she set up her own studio in Copenhagen in 1960. Then, after winning a scholarship to further her studies at the Royal College of Art and the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London, she remained in the English capital until 1979. There, she worked as a senior architect and later set up a studio that developed a large number of projects, including solar-cooled residential houses in tropical Africa.

She has also taught at prestigious universities such as Harvard, the Pratt Institute and the Royal Academy of Architecture in Copenhagen.
