About the designer.
Born in 1920 in Århus, the work of Danish designer Niels Otto Møller gained a reputation for consistent excellence in quality and craftsmanship. Møller's dedication to his craft stemmed from his studies as a cabinetmaker, which he completed in 1939, followed by further studies at the Århus School of Design.
In 1944, Møller founded his own furniture manufacturing company, JL Møllers Møbelfabrik, in a small workshop in the center of his hometown. While overseeing traditional furniture production at his factory, Møller continued to design himself. The No. 1 chair (1946) was the first result. For the rest of his life, Møller's furniture designs would be produced by his own company.
Møller's chairs, 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, as the company grew, JL Møllers Møbelfabrik started exporting to Germany and the United States. In order to continue to meet demand, Møller expanded its production facilities. In 1961 he bought a large piece of land in Højbjerg, a town close to his birthplace. There Møller continued to design dining chairs and armchairs in almost sculpted, organic shapes in teak, oak and walnut - all examples of the post-war Danish modern style.
In 1981, JL Møllers Møbelfabrik was awarded the Dansk MøbelIndustri's Furniture Prize, with special mention for its "ability to combine the best craft traditions with modern furniture production."
Niels Otto Møller designed and produced a large number of chairs and his brand became synonymous with good Danish design worldwide. This reputation was passed on to his children after his death in 1982. His sons, Jorgen Henrik Møller and Jens Ole Møller, continued the business and it is still family owned today.
