- Lot Description
Bodil Kjaer (Danish, b. 1932) Office Storage Cabinet, designed Denmark, 1959, manufactured c. 1960 by CI Designs, Boston, Massachusetts, rosewood, two small drawers and one larger drawer, unmarked, ht. 19 1/2, wd. 17 1/2, dp. 24 in.
Provenance: Acquired from CI Designs, a design and architectural firm based in Boston, Massachusetts, from the late 1950s through the 1980s. CI Designs was a licensed manufacturer of Bodil Kjaer designs, as well as a number of other prominent designers of the time.
Note: Kjaer is a Danish architect, furniture designer, professor and researcher, who specialized in interior design and city planning. Today she is recognized for the series of office furniture she designed in the 1960s. Her working table, designed in 1959, was designed as part of a flexible working environment. The prototype, in ashwood with a matte, chrome plated base, was made for Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A model in walnut was made for Wellesley College. In addition to the table with its four inset drawers, Kjaer designed a number of storage items with adjustable shelves and drawers which could be placed under the table or beside a wall. In the 1960s, the table and storage elements were manufactured by E. Pedersen & S°n, R°dovre, Denmark as well as CI Designs, Boston, Massachusetts for the North American market.
Sometimes called "The Bond Desk" for its appearances in three Bond movies: From Russia With Love; You Only Live Twice; and On Her Majesty's Secret Service Kingsman: The Secret Service.Condition
