BK14 Chaise Lounge

Sleek and streamlined yet reassuringly robust, the BK14 sunbed was designed in 1959 by Danish architect Bodil Kjær. As pleasing to look at as it is to lie on, the sunbed is part of her Indoor-Outdoor Series, which was inspired by Cubist forms and contemporary architecture.

Designed by Bodil Kjaer

Bodil Kjær, Professor, Architect MAA was born in Denmark in 1932. She was educated in Denmark, England and the USA, and practised as an architect, designer and planner from her own offices in Copenhagen and London.

Between 1955 and 1963, while designing public interiors Bodil Kjær developed a series of elements of architecture to solve problems of functional and aesthetic nature. These pieces of furniture, lamps and glass were not designed directly for production, but as other architects discovered them and wanted them for their buildings, they were put into production and marketed in the USA as well as in Europe. Early on architects like Jose Luis Sert and Paul Rudolph, the heads of the schools of architecture at Harvard and Yale universities discovered Bodil Kjær´s designs and wanted them for the buildings they were designing. Harry Weese in Chicago and Marcel Breuer in New York wanted to specify them, too.
