About the Item

Bodil Kjaers Set Of Three Principal Chair All Wood for Karakter Characterised by a simple and honest use of form and material, the Principal Chair is timeless in every aspect. It is meticulously designed down to the finest detail, offering an enduring piece to be cherished for generations. Balancing a geometric structure with soft organic shapes, the piece presents a simple structure that forgoes superfluous detailing in favour of a minimal design. The all-wood rendition of the design embodies the essence of the series. With a focus on clarity and simplicity, every aspect of the design fulfils a function, down to the smallest detail. Perfect for restaurants and private homes alike, the all-wood version of the chair and the Principal series can become a staple in homes and hospitality settings. Crafted from solid oak and coloured beech versions, these chairs cater to diverse preferences while maintaining the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. Bodil Kjær’s drawings showing the crisp clear form including a distinctive three-dimensional joint are precise and considered. Although never prototyped, the drawings were enough to inspire Christian Elving, CEO and Co-founder of Karakter to put what Kjær had called the Z series into production.

She designed a desk for MIT which was dubbed ‘The most beautiful desk in the world’ and eventually immortalized in 3 early James Bond movies. Danish architect, designer and professor Bodil Kjær (born 1932) is the female trailblazer of Danish midcentury design, who although tutored by modernist master Finn Juhl, in her own words “… never had much interest in following in the footsteps of the Danish rat pack”. Kjær looked to America, inspired by Charles and Ray Eames, and indeed many of her most notable designs stems from her time in the U.S., where she briefly worked at Paul McCobb, before moving to Boston to further her career in corporate interior architecture. Kjær’s reignited prominence as a designer in later years is well deserved. Pared back, elegant and decidedly modern, her iconic pieces slip effortlessly into contemporary life 60 years on. Today, Bodil Kjær is back in Denmark and lives on the east coast of Jutland where she continues to teach, do research and participate in the architectural development of the city of Aarhus. About the manufacturer: Karakter is a Danish design company founded on a spirit of exploration, courage and an uncompromising attitude to quality.

Aspiring to build an enduring legacy, they work with contemporary designers such as Aldo Bakker and PlueerSmitt and present works by the masters Bodil Kjær, Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, Paul McCobb, Joe Colombo and Angelo Mangiarotti. Each piece has a clear, undeniable expression, ensuring it pride of place in private homes and public spaces worldwide.
