Jørgen Møller
Jørgen Møller is the son of Niels O. Møller, founder of famous Danish furniture company JL Møller. J .L. Møllers Møbelfabrik hand make their furniture in a tiny workshop in the centre of Århus, Denmark, with the ambition to never compromise with the quality.
Møller’s chairs, such as the sculptural No. 55 and No. 71 (both 1951), strongly represent, through the choice of materials and the soft curves, the Scandinavian post-war vision of practical yet well-made design. In 1981, JL Møllers Møbelfabrik was awarded the Dansk MøbelIndustri’s Furniture Prize, with special mention for its “ability to combine the best craft traditions with modern furniture manufacture. Niels Otto Møller designed and produced a formidable number of chairs and his brand became synonymous the world over with good Danish design.
