Description
An outstanding set of six authentic J.L. Møller Model 80 dining chairs, crafted in Denmark in the late 1960s to early 1970s. Model 80 is one of Møller’s most refined and least frequently seen designs, distinguished by its fully upholstered back panel elegantly framed in sculpted solid teak. This wrapped-teak construction highlights the precision joinery and organic shaping that define the finest period work from the Møller workshop.
The chairs feature beautifully grained teak frames with the soft curvature, tapered legs, and seamless transitions that characterize Møller’s craftsmanship at its peak. The original textured fabric, sourced from the original owner, remains on all six chairs and is preserved in VERY VERY GOOD vintage condition. The frames exhibit only light signs of age, and the teak retains a warm, even tone with minimal wear, consistent with careful and respectful use.
Model 80 is especially prized for its comfort and elegance. The upholstered back offers supportive seating, while the teak surround creates a sophisticated sculptural profile that reads beautifully from every angle. Sets of six in this configuration and in such well-maintained condition are increasingly rare, and the presence of original upholstery and single-owner provenance makes this example particularly desirable for collectors, designers, and refined contemporary interiors.
This set is offered exactly as acquired from the original owner, reflecting decades of attentive stewardship. With its graceful proportions, tactile materials, and timeless Danish modern sensibility, the Model 80 remains one of J.L. Møller’s most compelling contributions to twentieth-century chair design.
