PRODUCTION YEAR

Bodil Kjær, one of the last living pioneers of mid-century Scandinavian design and a female trailblazer in the field of architecture of her time, created 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 chair, the Principal series embodies Kjær's cosmopolitan and forward-thinking vision and her modernist design language that fits seamlessly into contemporary interiors.


The solid wood dining table boasts an essential form, repeating a simple angle on all legs and ends of the top, while the dining chair, with its circular seat and gently rounded backrest, beautifully upholstered, adds softness to the clear, linear geometry, inviting you to pause for a moment. The Principal Counter Chair and Principal Stool complete the family, drawing inspiration from the chair and echoing the distinctive formal balance of the entire collection.
