4 Neils O Moller Scandinavian Modern Model 71 Teak Dining Chairs by J.L. Mollers
Located in Topeka, KS
Awesome Neils O Moeller Scandinavian Modern Model 71 teak dining chairs by J.L. Mollers Mobelfabrik set of 4. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that these are vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear. We have repaired damaged rope in the seats and reglued all of the joints. New cord has a slightly lighter color but should age. Please see photos and zoom in for details. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Mid-20th Century. WOW!!!! We have an INCREDIBLE set of four Neils O. Moller Scandinavian Modern Model #71 teak dining chairs by J.L. Mollers Mobelfabrik to offer to you!!! They are comprised of four straight tapered legs with the front two stopping at the seat top and the back two continuing up as the back-support posts. The back is a simple bowed band of teak between the two posts. The seats are comprised of a beautiful natural colored basket weave paper cord. When viewed from the side, they have kind of a swoop dimension… They’re FABULOUS!! The smooth clean lines of these Scandinavian Modern dining chairs will beautifully blend with many interior design styles from Danish Modern to modern country or a mountain rustic house, and from mid-century modern to industrial or a home with a western flair. Whether at a dining table, breakfast nook, or game table, this set of four dining chairs will be incredible around whatever table you choose; however, you may want to consider our listings for matching Scandinavian Modern dining tables just in case!! In 1944, Neils Otto Møller founded J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik in Denmark, a company that has received many awards, including the Danish Furniture Prize in 1974 and 1981. He designed with no compromise and a work ethic that would take him years to complete. His work ethic is why the Møller collection is relatively small for a company that’s been around for more than 70 years, but that’s what makes Møller so special. Their designs are clean, simple, and timeless. In the 1960s, Niels’ sons Jørgen Henrik Moller...

Vintage, New and Antique Dining Room Chairs

No matter what your dream dining experience looks like, there is a wide-ranging variety of vintage, new and antique dining room chairs on 1stDibs. Find upholstered dining room chairs, wood dining room chairs and more to outfit any space designated for a good meal, be it in your home or in the great outdoors.

In the early 18th century, most dining room tables and other furniture was designed to look masculine. In America, dining rooms weren’t even much of a concept until the late 1700s, when a space set aside specifically for dining became a part of the construction of homes for the wealthy. Dining room chairs of the era were likely made of walnut or oak. In Europe, neoclassical dining chairs emerged during the 1750s owing to nostalgia for classical antiquity, while the curving chair crests of Queen Anne furniture in the United States preceded the artistically bold seat backs that characterized the Chippendale chairs that followed. If there weren't enough dining chairs at suppertime in the American colonies, men were prioritized and women stood.

In the dining rooms of today, however, there is enough space for everyone to have a seat at the table. Modern styles introduce innovative design choices that play with shape and style. Icons of mid-century modern dining room chairs are plentiful: With its distinctive bentwood back, there is the DCW dining chair by Charles and Ray Eames, while Hans Wegner's timeless classic, the Wishbone chair, remains relevant and elegant decades after its debut. Stefano Giovannoni's White Rabbit dining chairs, in their lovable polyethylene biomorphism, reinvent what dining can look like.

Today's wide range of dining room chairs also means that they can now be styled in different ways, bringing functionality and fun to any sumptuous dining space. No longer do tables have to be accompanied by a matching set of seats. Skillfully mixing and matching colors and designs allows you to showcase your personality without sacrificing the cohesion of a given space.

By furnishing your dining room with cozy chairs — vintage, antique or otherwise — family time can extend far beyond mealtime. The plush upholstery of Victorian-style dining room chairs is perfect for game nights that stretch from dinner to midnight snack. Outdoor tables and dining chairs can also present an excellent opportunity for bonding and eating — what goes better with a delicious meal than fresh air, anyway?

Whether you prefer your chairs streamlined and stackable or ornate and one of a kind, the offerings on 1stDibs will elevate your mealtime and beyond.
