Title: Set of Four ( 4 ) Model 83 Teak Dining Chairs by Niels Otto Møller for J.L. Møller w/ Original Fabric, Denmark, c. 1970's
About: This exquisite set of four Model 83 dining chairs by Niels Otto Møller for J.L. Møller epitomizes the timeless elegance of Danish design from the 1970s. Crafted from solid teak, each chair showcases the wood’s warm, rich grain and smooth finish, with gracefully sculpted backrests featuring vertical slats that provide both support and visual lightness. The original oatmeal knit fabric upholstery, with its subtle texture and neutral tone, complements the teak’s natural beauty while offering a tactile warmth that enhances the chairs’ inviting aesthetic.

These chairs embody the enduring appeal of Scandinavian craftsmanship, blending form and function with understated sophistication.

His designs, including the iconic Model 83 chair, are celebrated for their organic forms, meticulous joinery, and use of high-quality woods like teak and rosewood. Møller’s work gained international acclaim for its timeless elegance, earning him numerous awards, including the Danish Furniture Prize, and his pieces remain highly sought after by collectors worldwide.
