J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik
Family-owned and operated since its inception, furniture manufacturer J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik is known to collectors for its impeccably crafted vintage chairs, dining tables and more. Its production of elegant, built-to-last furniture that favors pared-back functional forms over ornamentation has earned the company an international reputation as a leading manufacturer of Scandinavian modern furniture.
J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik was founded in 1944 by noted furniture designer Niels Otto Møller. Hailed as one of the most influential pioneers of Danish furniture design, Møller trained as a cabinetmaker before going on to study design in his hometown of Åarhus, Denmark. Here he founded J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik and designed his first chair, the aptly named No.1. In 1961, owing to high demand, the company moved their production headquarters to their plant in Højbjerg, Denmark, where they remain to this day. Møller’s company gained renown initially for their dining chairs but eventually became an important name in the manufacture of other household furnishings including armchairs, credenzas and dining room tables.
While J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik streamlined and modernized the production of their furniture over the years, much of their fabrication process still adheres to time-honored traditions. Their furniture is built from sturdy, durable materials such as rosewood and teak (the latter came to define the simple shapes of mid-century modern design). Many of their most iconic designs, including their Model 77 chair, still incorporate handmade features such as woven seats.
Vintage J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik furniture remains as popular today as it was at the height of the mid-century modern period. After Møller’s death in 1982, control of the company was handed down through his family. It is now led by his granddaughter, Kirsten Møller, who strives to uphold her grandfather’s vision. The original designs of Niels Otto Møller, including his legendary Model 78 chair, remain in production today.
Furniture produced by J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik can be found in prestigious institutions such as the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna. The company was awarded the Danish Furniture Industry Prize in 1981.

- Rosewood Set of 2 Niels Otto Møller Armchairs No 62, Denmark, 1960'sBy Niels Otto Møller, J.L. Møllers MøbelfabrikLocated in Amsterdam, NLAn elegant anthropomorphic set of 2 armchairs in rosewood by the renowned Danish designer Niels Otto Møller. Back in the days these chairs wíth armrests were always part of a set of more of these chairs, most of them without armrest. Depending on how many children you had or how many guests you would like to seat, you could decide how many you wanted. Most of the time it was a set of six. It was quite common that only the father and let's assume also the mother (we are talking Scandinavia who are always well ahead of their time), had one wíth armrest and the rest of the set would be without the armest. For this reason the ones with armrest are always a bit higher in value. You could probaly find these charis at the head and foot of the table with the father and mother overseeing the evening dinner. These armchairs are made of solid of high quality Brazilian rosewood so they are very sturdy and heavy. Brazilian rosewood has good carving properties and you can see that back in the shape of the frame with nicely made details. The result of all this is an open and inviting chair with a formal and classic appearance. Lots of details such as the little hornets and the nice curves in the armrest both in the length as in the corner. The two chairs both need reupholstery which is the perfect way to let them melt together as a set, because the rosewood is exactly similar in colour. We would advice some high quality leather and no filling to create the same look as the one with the lighter upholstery, where you can still see the shape of the frame, which is an essential part of the design. So as the one on the right in the pictures. These chairs by Niels Otto Møller are still in production but not in Rosewood anymore. So the rosewood-version is the most sought after because Brazilian Rosewood is a very much protected species nowadays. If you can prove that these chairs were made before a certain period, and in this case we can, then you export them with the correct forms...Category
