Bodil Kjær

Bodil Kjær

Bodil Kjær (b.1932) is a Danish professor, architect and designer who studied architecture in England for a year before enrolling at the Frederiksberg Technical College and School of Interior Design where she learned to create spaces from experts such as Finn Juhl and Jørgen Ditzel. After a year in the U.S in 1960 Kjær returned to Denmark and established a studio in Copenhagen. In 1965, she received a scholarship to study at London's Royal College of Art and the Architectural Association School of Architecture. She stayed in London until 1979 working as a senior architect for Arup, and later opened a studio working on projects such as residential homes cooled using solar energy for Africa’s tropical zone.

As a furniture designer, Kjær views furniture construction from a purely technical perspective, interplayed with modern architecture and created for people with practicality in mind. Here we show her range of indoor-outdoor furniture for Carl Hansen, characterised by lightness and functional expression

Thank You Messages

I have rarely experienced such excellent quality advice, support and reliability. Your staff communicate effectively and helpfully. I am a truly satisfied customer. I love my String Shelving and I will not hesitate to return to Utility for my next purchase. Thank you!

I just wanted to express my thanks again for your great customer service. I ordered my items less than 24 hours ago and I’ve amended my order- yet I still have my order here with me now. You went out of your way to deliver my order and I’m very grateful. I wish more places had people like you :-)

Excellent customer service and immediate response to enquiry (live chat). Very happy every time used Utility both online and on high street.

I couldn't be happier with the custom made sofa bought through the online store. It is perfect and made all the more enjoyable by buying it through the guys at utility. Ben and Paul who delivered the sofa were amazing, kind and really helpful in a difficult situation (of course the lift broke when I was getting something delivered). Would highly recommend!

Just wanted to message and say that I'm a big fan of the Utility Stores and the types of products you guys sell. I work close by to the Manchester store at University Green, so I'm popping in a fair bit generally for cards, gifts, etc. I just nipped in again this afternoon about one product I'd bought earlier and the staff were super helpful and attentive. It made it really easy, and I was in and out in no time.

Just wanted to drop you guys a quick note to say how happy I am with the service I have had. Especially the two guys who delivered/carried into an awkward space/built/then took away the packaging, not to mention then gave me a lift into town. Thank you. Plus the sofa looks amazing. I will definitely be using you guys more in the future and will highly recommend you to anyone who will listen.
