Bodil Kjær

Danish architect and designer Bodil Kjær (born 1932) created furniture of calm, architectural clarity for offices and interiors. Her Office Desk of 1959, produced by E. Pedersen & Søn in rosewood or oak with a slender steel frame, became a quiet emblem of Scandinavian modernism and appeared in several James Bond films. Collectors prize original examples from the first production, particularly in Brazilian rosewood, with the frame and drawer units in good order.
