BK17 A-Frame for swing sofa - Untreated teak
The Carl Hansen & Søn BK17 A-Frame, designed by Bodil Kjær in 1959, is part of her architecturally inspired Indoor-Outdoor Series. Influenced by Cubism, Kjær created a precise, streamlined form crafted from solid teak with an oiled finish, ensuring both strength and elegance.
Built to withstand harsh weather, the frame supports the BK13 Swing Sofa, which is suspended from the A-Frame with knotted ropes to provide a gentle, relaxing rocking motion. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the swing sofa can be paired with an optional cushion upholstered in weather-resistant Sunbrella fabric, available in charcoal or canvas. The result is a classic garden swing that brings comfort, style, and timeless Danish design to any outdoor space.
