Niels O. Møller armchair
This rare armchair, model 62, designed by Niels Otto Møller and produced by J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik in Denmark during the 1960s, is a refined example of Scandinavian mid-century craftsmanship. The chair is constructed from rosewood, showcasing a deep, rich grain with a polished finish that accentuates the wood’s natural beauty. The original black leather seat remains intact, offering a supple and elegant contrast to the warmth of the rosewood frame.
The design is characterized by its fluid, sculptural form, featuring a gently curved backrest composed of three horizontal slats that provide ergonomic support. The frame displays seamless joinery, a hallmark of Møller’s precise woodworking technique. The armrests extend gracefully from the legs, creating a continuous line that enhances the chair’s organic aesthetic. The legs taper elegantly, lending the structure a sense of lightness while maintaining stability.
