Nest of Tables
TRIO OF SMALL TABLES
A collection of design low tables that blends
elegance and practicality while promoting a contemporary lifestyle, ideal for a
home where the rooms have flexible uses.
Dissatisfied with the small, wobbly table-top options
available, Bodil Kjær designed the Nesting Tables, modern stackable low tables
with a unique cube structure that are not only stable and versatile but also
elegant.
Nested one inside another, these tables make a subtle statement in a
modern living room where their cube shape is sophisticated and discreet – small
showpieces with their elegant tops in glass, saddle-hide or laminated metal.

Bodil Kjær |
She has been featured in The New York Times and Wall Street
Journal Magazine. 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. Today, Bodil Kjær is back in
Denmark and lives on the east coast of Jutland where she continues to teach, do
research and participate in the architectural development of the city of
Aarhus. |
