Overview

A masterclass in Scandinavian minimalism, this chair features a sculpted teak frame with tapered legs and a curved backrest.

Story

Post-war Denmark became the unlikely epicenter of a global design revolution that prioritized the 'human scale' over the heavy, ornate furniture of the past.

Maker / Origin

While many workshops produced this style, the refined joinery is consistent with the work of Niels Otto Møller, who founded J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik in 1944.

Condition & Value

The teak frame appears to be in good structural condition with a lovely deep patina. As a single side chair, the value is driven by the maker and the condition of the teak.
