The Carl Hansen BK10 Dining Chair is durable enough to live outdoors, yet elegant enough to be used inside. Designed in 1959 by Danish architect Bodil Kjær as part of her architecturally inspired Indoor-Outdoor Series.
Featuring a sharp-edged silhouette, the BK10 Dining Chair is made from untreated solid teak, designed to patinate beautifully over time. Its comfortable inclined seat and back unite its armrests, legs and runners which are mortised together to form two squares – a detail that is recognised through danish expert craftsmanship. It can be purchased with luxurious cushions, upholstered in weather-resistant Sunbrella fabric.
Materials: Untreated Teak frame with optional cushion in Sunbrella Charcoal 54048 or Canvas 5453
Dimensions: Width - 63.5cm x Depth - 63cm x Height - 76cm
Over the years Bodil Kjær has designed a number of furniture pieces or as she prefers to call them architectural elements. Her aim was never to create sculptural statements but rather to find functional, economic, and aesthetic solutions. Kjær was born in 1932 and grew up on her family’s ancestral farm near Horsens, Denmark, where she learned to appreciate quality and aesthetics. After school, she went to England to study architecture, but returned to Denmark a year later. She enrolled at the Frederiksberg Technical College and the School of Interior Design, where she learned to create spaces from experts such as Finn Juhl and Jørgen Ditzel.
