Defined by its striking cross shape, the table lamp has been crafted from moulded plexiglass, creating a clear structure that embodies a sense of lightness and space. Topped with a warming opal shade, the light’s minimalist, honest profile allows for it to perfectly sit in a range of styled spaces; whether used as a desk lamp in a study or on a side table positioned next to a sofa. A true reflection of Kjær’s refined, functionalistic design philosophy, the sculptural table lamp is an embodiment of stylish, modern design.
Born in Denmark in 1932, Bodil Kjær 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 collection of furniture, lamps and glassware that 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 and Europe.
Some of these pieces are still available today, mostly at auctions, but may also be seen in three early Bond movies, and in recent British films and television series.
