Bodil kjaer, 1961 walnut principal dining table for karakter 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. With principal kjær uses a three-dimensional form rather than the more conventional flat or smooth joint of much furniture. It is a distinctive element that telegraphs its strength but also shows the sheer beauty of structure. 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. Product material frame in solid oak or walnut with clear lacquer, table top in oak or walnut veneer with clear lacquer, plastic glides measurements height 72 cm width 100 cm length 240 cm this piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
