Vintage Model 71 Dining Room Chair by Niels O Möller, 1920s

About the designer. The work of Danish designer Niels Otto Møller, born in 1920 in Århus, gained a reputation for consistent excellence in quality and craftsmanship. Møllers dedication to his profession came from his studies as a furniture maker, which he completed in 1939, followed by further studies at the Århus School of Design. In 1944, Møller founded his own furniture production company, JL Møllers Møbelfabrik, in a small workshop in the center of his birthplace. While he supervised traditional furniture production in his factory, Møller continued to design himself. The no. 1 chair (1946) was the first result. The rest of his life Møllers Furniture Design would be produced by his own company. Møller’s seats, such as the Sculptural No. 55 and No. 71 (both from 1951), strongly represent, through the choice of materials and the soft curves, the Scandinavian post -war vision of practical but well -made and designed design. In 1952, when the company grew, JL Møllers Møbelfabrik began to export to Germany and the United States. In order to continue to meet the demand, Møller expanded his production facilities. In 1961 he bought a large piece of land in Højbjerg, a city close to his birthplace. There, Møller continued to design dining room chairs and armchairs in almost sculpted, organic forms in teak, oak and walnut – all are examples of the post -war Danish modern style. In 1981, JL Møllers Møbelfabrik received the Dansk Møbelindustris Furniture Prize, with special mention for his “ability to combine the best traditional traditions with modern furniture production.” Niels Otto Møller designed and produced a large number of seats and his brand became synonymous with good Danish design worldwide. This reputation was left to his children after his death in 1982. His sons, Jorgen Henrik Møller and Jens Ole Møller, continue the company and until today it is still in family property. This chair.
