In 1944, Niels 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. "My father never compromised on anything," says Jørgen Henrik Møller. "When he designed a chair, he would find the materials and then design the furniture. Each design took him five years to complete." Even today the company continues to use old craft traditions like handwoven seats, which, on the Model 62 Armchair (1962), are made from one continuous 425-foot-long piece of cord. To make their furniture frames, Møller hand-selects raw wood from environmentally friendly sources and never uses machines for the final polish, as these devices treat all wood the same and can't replicate the finish that comes from polishing by hand. In 1974, Niels Otto Møller began exporting to Japan, which remains one of the biggest markets for his chairs due to their simplicity and craftsmanship. Møllers is still a small family-owned business and is now managed by Jørgen Henrik Møller. These chairs are authentic, fully licensed products of J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik. Made in Denmark.
The 27.5" arm height allows you to rest your arms comfortably without having to lean to one side. Because of this, the arms will not slide under most tabletops, which is precisely what Møller had in mind.

"My father never compromised on anything," says Jørgen Henrik Møller. "When he designed a chair, he would find the materials and then design the furniture. Each design took him five years to complete." This work ethic is why the Møller collection is relatively small for a company that's been around for more than 60 years, but that's what makes Møller so special.
"Clean, simple designs and the quality of materials and workmanship are why Nordic design is timeless," says Niels' son Jørgen Henrik Møller. "It's because of these materials and skills that Møller chairs are passed down from one generation to the next." Read more >
