About the Item

This exceptional early pair of Model 57 armchairs by Niels Otto Møller represents the purest expression of Danish Modern craftsmanship—where sculptural restraint, material honesty, and ergonomic intelligence converge. Crafted in Denmark from old-growth solid teak, these chairs showcase remarkably rich grain and warm tonal depth rarely seen in later production examples. The frames display Møller’s signature lightness and precision: gently tapered legs, refined joinery, and a beautifully resolved arm profile that feels both architectural and inviting. This pair is distinguished by its early production details, including original maker’s tags and pencil production signatures, underscoring their authenticity and historical importance. The chairs have been professionally restored, preserving their integrity while honoring their age. They have been newly reupholstered in full-grain leather, selected to complement the teak and develop a graceful patina over time. Subtle, tasteful signs of age remain, adding character without detracting from the overall presentation. Highly versatile, these armchairs work equally well as refined dining captains, desk or library chairs, or as sculptural accent seating in a living space—icons of Danish design that elevate any interior. ⸻ Details • Designer: Niels Otto Møller • Model: 57 • Origin: Denmark • Period: Early production • Materials: Solid old-growth teak, full-grain leather • Condition: Professionally restored; reupholstered; light, age-appropriate wear • Authentication: Original maker’s tags and pencil production signatures present Dimensions • Height: 30.5 in • Width: 22.5 in • Depth: 19 in • Seat Height: 17.5 in
