{"title":"Bodil Kjær","description":"\u003cp\u003eBodil Kjær has designed a number of furniture pieces or, architectural elements, as she prefers to call them. Her aim was never to create sculptural statements but rather to find functional, economic, and aesthetic solutions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough her vast travels, Danish professor and architect Bodil Kjær has gained deep insight into the relationship between design and architecture and  contributed significantly to the spread of Danish Modern design principles ­– this was not, however, the main purpose of her travels. Kjær wanted to explore methods and materials that could be used to realize her ideas for functional furniture systems and work environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKjær was born in 1932 and grew up on her family’s ancestral farm near Horsens, Denmark, where she learned to appreciate quality and aesthetics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShe also gained a respect for nature and an interest in the dynamics of society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a furniture designer, Kjær views furniture construction from a purely technical perspective, interplayed with modern architecture and created for people. She always considers context and has collaborated with different professions in her desire to optimize physical settings. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer furniture systems support creative people in their work processes, and her designs include indoor and outdoor furniture, light fixtures, a service trolley and vases, all characterized by lightness and a functionalist expression.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"bk13-swing-sofa-untreated-teak","title":"BK13 Swing Sofa - Untreated Teak","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"col-12\" data-be-plugin=\"editor\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #323232; font-family: DINRoundPro, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: normal; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: #f5f5f5;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #323232; font-family: DINRoundPro, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: normal; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: #f5f5f5;\"\u003e\u003cem style=\"color: #242424; font-family: 'HelveticaNeueLT Std', sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px; white-space-collapse: collapse; background-color: #ffffff;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #242424; font-family: 'HelveticaNeueLT Std', sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px; white-space-collapse: collapse; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eThis product is made in Vietnam by Carl Hansen \u0026amp; Son.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #323232; font-family: DINRoundPro, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: normal; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: #f5f5f5;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #323232; font-family: DINRoundPro, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: normal; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: #f5f5f5;\"\u003eThe BK13 swing sofa was designed in 1959 by Bodil Kjær as part of a series of beautifully crafted, architecturally inspired indoor-outdoor furniture. As with the rest of the series, the Danish architect looked to Cubism for inspiration for the sofa’s precise, streamlined form, which is crafted from solid teak. Designed to withstand harsh weather, the swing sofa also offers superior comfort, suspended from knotted ropes for a relaxing rocking motion. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #323232; font-family: DINRoundPro, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: normal; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: #f5f5f5;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #323232; font-family: DINRoundPro, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; letter-spacing: normal; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: #f5f5f5;\"\u003eDesigned for indoors and out, it can be supplied with cushions made from weather-resistant Sunbrella fabric as well as an A-frame for easy suspension.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bodil Kjær","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39946511450271,"sku":"CH-BK13-UNTREATED","price":3181.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0325\/1506\/3867\/files\/6093350222368159733ac505_c4478c30-f999-41ec-941d-e5d1f5b2eadf.jpg?v=1771647817"},{"product_id":"bk10-dining-chair-untreated-teak","title":"BK10 Dining Chair - Untreated Teak","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"col-12\" data-be-plugin=\"editor\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"body-copy2__heading ng-star-inserted\"\u003e\u003cem style=\"color: #242424; font-family: 'HelveticaNeueLT Std', sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px; letter-spacing: normal; text-transform: none;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #242424; font-family: 'HelveticaNeueLT Std', sans-serif; font-size: 13.3333px; letter-spacing: normal; text-transform: none;\"\u003eThis product is made in Vietnam by Carl Hansen \u0026amp; Son.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmain class=\"body-copy2__body ng-star-inserted\"\u003eClean-lined, precise and pleasingly graphic, Bodil Kjær’s BK10 dining chair looks as good indoors as it does outside, which is exactly what the Danish architect intended. Made from solid teak, the Cubist-inspired chair is designed to patinate beautifully over time and features a fine, linear appearance despite its sturdy construction. The chair was created in 1959 as part of a series of architecturally inspired indoor-outdoor furniture, the proportions of which were designed to relate to the surrounding environment. It features a comfortable inclined seat and back, with armrests, legs and runners that are mortised together to form two squares – a detail that is realized through expert craftsmanship. As well as the dining chair, Kjær’s Indoor-Outdoor series comprises a lounge chair, a side table, a dining table, a two-seater lounge sofa, a swing sofa and a sunbed.\u003c\/main\u003e\u003cmain class=\"body-copy2__body ng-star-inserted\"\u003e\u003c\/main\u003e\u003cmain class=\"body-copy2__body ng-star-inserted\"\u003eAll seats, chairs and beds can be supplied with slender, supportive cushions made from weather-resistant Sunbrella fabric.
