Trine Kjaer (1986- ) is a Danish furniture designer, photographer, illustrator, graphic designer and architect. She received her master's degree from the Aarhus School of Architecture, and worked for the Johannes Torpe studio, Soerig design studio and Bang & Olufsen.
She now runs
Trine Kjaer Design Studio in Værløse, Denmark, where she primarily works in the fields of custom furniture, interiors and decorator items.
Her designs have won several awards and have been nominated for others. Probably her best known work is the
Haptic chair, which has a backrest and seat wrapped in cord intertwined with thin copper strands. The
Black Box cabinet is made of black stained wood with a bright ash interior and contains a mirror, drawers and pegs for hanging jewelry. It was nominated for the Danish furniture brand Bolia’s annual Design Award. Her
Re:table is made of old wood and painted steel and can be adjusted from cafe table height to bar table height by repositioning the sliding pedestal and pegs. Other works include the
Round table,
Bowl coffee table,
Lauf chair,
Uniformed chair,
Leap Lounge chair,
One-day lamp and
Sphere vase.
I predict that we'll be hearing more from this young designer and that her work will still be valued fifty years from now.
