A danish design classic with organic lines, beautiful proportions and carefully crafted details.

niels o. Møller was a trained cabinetmaker and founded the furniture factory in 1944 in aarhus with his wife kirsten. His background in craftsmanship characterizes the design, where the natural character of the wood and soft transitions between the furniture parts are at the center. Model 75 is a clear example of this, with a stripped-down construction that at the same time accommodates many fine details.

the chairs have frames in solid teak with a warm, golden brown tone and natural variations in the grain. The wide backrest is softly arched with rounded edges and tapers towards the sides, where it meets the sweeping rear legs. Seen from behind, the sculptural shape of the backrests and the open construction stand out particularly beautifully.

the round, tapered legs give a sleek expression. The front legs end with softly rounded tops that are visible at the front corners of the seat, while neat connectors connect the base. The upholstered seat follows the contours of the frame with softly rounded corners and a slightly arched front edge.

the seats have been recently renovated with new carrier fabric and padding and are upholstered in hallingdal 65 from danish kvadrat, color 126. The detailed images show the fabric's dense weave of light and dark threads, which together create a mottled gray tone and a lively structure. The upholstery forms a nice contrast to the warm teak.

hallingdal was originally designed in 1965 by danish designer nanna ditzel. The fabric consists of 70 percent wool and 30 percent viscose and combines a pleasant feel with good durability. Here two well-known names in danish design meet: niels o. Møller's furniture design and nanna ditzel's textiles.

the upholstered seats and softly curved backrests provide good seating comfort. A timeless set that fits just as well around a classic teak table as in a modern dining area.
