Niels Otto Møller (1920–1982) is celebrated as one of Denmark’s most revered furniture designers. After completing his cabinetmaking apprenticeship in 1939, he continued his studies at the design academy in Århus, Denmark. In 1944, he founded J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik, where he personally designed and oversaw production. The company remains family-owned and continues to uphold his legacy.

Møller’s work is defined by elegance, precision, and craftsmanship, adhering to the Danish design philosophy that beauty is achieved by stripping away excess, rather than adding ornamentation. He frequently worked with rosewood and teak, materials that accentuated the graceful curves and organic flow of his pieces. Today, his designs remain timeless, highly sought after, and a staple in mid-century modern interiors.
