Set of Four Principal Dining Wood Chairs Designed by Bodil Kjær
About the Item
Chair designed by Bodil Kjær in 1959.
One of the last living Midcentury Scandinavian design pioneers and a female Pioneer in the field of architecture in her time, Bodil Kjær, conceived her Principal series in 1959 as part of an architectural exploration of interior solutions for modern living, called Elements of Architecture. Comprising a dining table and an upholstered dining chair, the Principal series epitomises Kjær's forward-thinking cosmopolitan outlook and modernistic design language that slips fluidly into contemporary interior. The solid wood dining table boasts a clarified form, repeating a simple angle throughout table legs and ends of the table top, while the dining chair with its circular seat and gently rounded backrest, beautifully upholstered, adds a softness to the clear, unfussed geometry.

About the designer:
She has been featured in The New York Times and Wall Street Journal Magazine. 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.
