Lot 5 NIELS OTTO MOLLER

A FINE SET OF SIX ROSEWOOD 'MODEL 83' DINING CHAIRS, 1960s, DANISH BY NIELS OTTO MOLLER, FOR J.L. MOLLER, with railed backs on tapering legs, each bearing makers stamp (6) Niels Otto Moller designed some of Denmark's timeless classics. He completed his apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker in 1939 and then continued on to study at the design academy in Århus, Denmark. In 1944, he founded J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik, which is still manufacturing today. Taking very much from the Danish tradition of 'Form follows Function', Moller's designs require the craftsman to rely on the materials, form and skill of their own hand. As seen with these chairs the rich rosewood accentuates the elegant curves of his designs
