In 1959, Danish architect and professor Bodil Kjær designed an extensive range of furniture
for the American market. Called Indoor-Outdoor, the clean and precise series is part of
Carl Hansen & Son’s outdoor collection of classic designer furniture since 2018.
The Indoor-Outdoor series comprises of a lounge chair, a small table whose height matches that of the lounge chair, a dining table, a dining chair, a two-seater bench, a swing seat, and a sunbed – all of which have proven their enduring visual appeal. The lounge chair’s inclined, slatted seat and back are stretched between two squares formed by armrests, legs and runners that are mortised together – a detail requiring great skill and craftsmanship. The tables, bench and swing seat feature the same geometric principle. The sunbed has a continuous, slatted seat and an adjustable back. The dining chair design is based on the same principle as the lounge chair, but with a more open backrest construction.
Carl Hansen & Son relaunched Kjær’s classic series in solid teak, which withstands changeable weather conditions, patinates beautifully, and lends itself to both outdoor and indoor use.
