BK15 Dining Table
Made by Carl Hansen & Søn
Designed by Bodil Kjaer
Bodil Kjær designed the BK15 in 1959, and its geometry has lost nothing in the intervening decades. The table speaks in straight lines and considered proportions, a product of Kjær's training across both Europe and the United States at a moment when Scandinavian designers were reckoning seriously with modernism on a global scale.
Carl Hansen & Søn produces the BK15 with the same commitment to joinery and material selection that defines the Danish workshop's broader catalog. The solid wood frame is constructed without pretense, each element present because it is necessary. The result is a table that reads as quiet authority in a room.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who designed the BK15 Dining Table?
The BK15 was designed by Danish architect and designer Bodil Kjær in 1959. Kjær studied in Copenhagen, London, and the United States, and her work reflects a rigorous modernist sensibility that bridges Scandinavian craft tradition with international mid-century thinking.
What wood options are available for the BK15?
Carl Hansen & Søn typically offers the BK15 in a selection of solid wood species, including oak and walnut, with various soap or lacquer finishes. Specific configurations vary by collection season, so consulting a dealer is the best way to confirm current availability.
Can the BK15 Dining Table be used outdoors?
Certain configurations of the BK15 are produced for outdoor use with weather-appropriate materials and finishes. Always verify the specific variant, as indoor and outdoor versions differ in their material treatment and maintenance requirements.
How does the BK15 compare to other Carl Hansen & Søn dining tables?
Where many Carl Hansen & Søn tables, such as those by Hans J. Wegner, emphasize organic curves and joinery as visual expression, the BK15 is defined by strict rectilinearity. It appeals to those drawn to a more rationalist, architecturally spare approach within the Danish modern tradition.
Is the BK15 a reissue or a continuous production piece?
Carl Hansen & Søn reintroduced the BK15 as part of their ongoing effort to revive significant works from Danish design history. It is now part of their active collection, produced with contemporary craftsmanship standards while honoring the original 1959 design intent.
