Møllers Møbelfabrik — one of the final designs Møller completed before his death in 1982. The chair carries every hallmark of his mature style: a gently curved ladder back with four horizontal slats, tapered sculpted legs, and armrests that flow seamlessly into the frame with softly rounded terminals. The joinery is crisp and confident, the oak grain left to speak for itself under a warm, lightly lacquered finish.

Møller had spent nearly four decades refining the vocabulary of the Danish dining chair by the time he designed the Model 68, and the model reads as a distillation of that experience — the structural honesty of his celebrated Model 78 combined with a slightly more architectural, ladder-back silhouette. It is a design built for daily use as much as for admiration: stackable, sturdy, and comfortable, with the natural cord seat lending both visual lightness and quiet tactile warmth.
