a serving cart, designed by bodil kjær for the modern living room, where welcoming cheer is encouraged by versatile furniture that elegantly enhances new domestic lifestyles and a quest for comfort.

from the postwar period, bodil kjær opened up her home to a fresh
new camaraderie encouraged by versatile furniture that translated the
new domestic routines and a renewed need for comfort into tangible
designs. With a lively social life, and to solve the problem of kitchens
located far from the living room and to not miss out on serving her
guests while continuing to converse with them, kjær designed serving
cart, a food and beverage cart in solid wood with colored center
shelves and upper shelves in stainless steel. Bodil kjær had picked up
on the changes in lifestyles, between dinners eaten in front of the tv
or on the patio, in homes that were becoming smaller and smaller. Not
by chance, serving cart can be tucked away under the table when not
in use, or kept out, like a small, elegant architectural accessory

about the designer:
bodil kjær, professor, architect maa (member of the association of academic architects in denmark) 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 she 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.

some of these pieces are still available, mostly at auctions, and the office desk, today produced by karakter, can also be seen in three early bond movies and in recent british films and television series.

bodil kjær has now returned to denmark and lives on the east coast of jutland where she continues to teach, research and participate in the development of the city of aarhus.
