About the Item

Table designed by Bodil Kjær in 1961. One of the last living mid-century Scandinavian design pioneers and a female pioneer in the field of architecture in her time, Bodil Kjær, conceived her Principal series in 1961 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, an invitation to linger.

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. About the manufacturer: Karakter is a Danish design company founded on a spirit of exploration, courage and an uncompromising attitude to quality. Rooted in the Scandinavian design tradition with an international outlook, Karakter presents a portfolio of furniture, lighting and objects that is relevant, honest, expressive and sometimes playful. 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.

Danish Cabinetmaker Dining Table - Extendable to 325cm for 12 seats

Located in London, GB

This bespoke dining table was made in the 1950s by a cabinetmaker in Denmark. The modern but classical detailing is reminscent of Ole Wanscher and Kaare Klint. The profiled edges of the table top are in keeping with Kaare Klint's English influences. The curve between the table aprons and legs is more similar to Ole Wanscher's modern interpretation of classical furniture design. The edges of table top are also curved from end to end, softening the oblong shape. Measuring 75cm high, the table is 3cm higher than most midcentury tables and therefore is more in keeping with today's dining chairs with seat heights of 46-47cm. The table is 205cm long when not extended and extends to 265cm and 325cm with one and two leaves, allowing for 8/10/12 seats...
