About the Item

This exceptional set of six Model 49 dining chairs by Erik Buch for O.D. Møbler, crafted in Denmark during the 1960s offering a cohesive blend of form and function. Constructed from solid teak with a natural finish, the chairs showcase the wood’s warm, golden-brown tones and fine grain, their sculptural frames exuding the organic elegance of Danish Modern design. The Model 49, designed in 1949, is an iconic piece known for its “floating seat” concept, where the seat appears to hover within the frame, providing both visual lightness and ergonomic comfort. The curved, canted backrests and meticulous joinery highlight Buch’s attention to detail, making these chairs a favorite among collectors and designers. Newly reupholstered in luxurious oxblood Italian leather, the rich, deep red hue adds a bold contrast to the teak, enhancing the set’s sophisticated appeal. Perfect for a grand dining space or a collector’s curated interior, this set embodies the timeless craftsmanship of mid-century Scandinavian design. Erik Buch (1923–1982), sometimes spelled Erik Buck, was a celebrated Danish designer born in Copenhagen, known for his contributions to the Danish Modern movement. Buch trained as a cabinetmaker before establishing himself as a designer, focusing on creating furniture that combined functionality with organic, sculptural forms. His Model 49 chair, introduced in 1949, became an iconic design, celebrated for its ergonomic comfort and minimalist aesthetic. Buch frequently collaborated with manufacturers like O.D. Møbler, producing pieces in teak and rosewood that showcased his commitment to quality materials and craftsmanship. His designs, including dining chairs and bar stools, remain highly sought after for their timeless elegance and durability, cementing his legacy as a master of mid-century design. O.D. Møbler, formally known as Oddense Maskinsnedkeri A/S, was a distinguished Danish furniture manufacturer based in Odense, operating primarily during the mid-20th century. Established as a woodworking firm, O.D. Møbler became a key player in the Danish Modern movement, producing high-quality furniture that emphasized craftsmanship and minimalist design. The company collaborated with notable designers like Erik Buch, manufacturing iconic pieces such as the Model 49 dining chair, often marked with labels like “Made in Denmark / O.D. Møbler A-S” and “Danish Furniture Makers Control.” Known for using premium woods like teak and rosewood, O.D. Møbler’s furniture is celebrated for its durability and aesthetic refinement, making their pieces enduring favorites among collectors of Scandinavian design. ---Dimensions--- Width: 19.25 in / 48.9 cm Depth: 20.5 in / 52.07 cm Height: 30.5 in / 77.47 cm Seat Height: 18 in / 45.72 cm This expansive set of six Model 49 dining chairs has recently undergone a comprehensive and transformative restoration process and we love the results! The solid teak legs and frames have been painstaking hand-sanded and left un-stained with a protective wax coating. There are no deep scratches, stains or other damage present whatsoever and the natural woodgrains of the unfinished teak is absolutely stunning in natural light. The leather seats and backrests show only the wear of once living animal (ranch brands, scars etc.) but show no other damage from use whatsoever. All cushions feature new medium density foam for maximum comfort and longevity. This incredible set of six Model 49's is incredibly comfortable, structurally sound and ready for a literal lifetime more of use thanks to their recent restoration process.

Enhance your dining space with this exquisite set of six chairs designed by Niels O. Møller for J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik, featuring the iconic and rare Model 77 dining chair. Crafted from solid old growth teak wood, these chairs exemplify the timeless elegance and superior craftsmanship of Danish Modern design. The seats have been re-corded by the previous owner using a more open, unlaced weaving technique, adding a unique and contemporary touch to the classic design. If this style of cording does not suit your taste, please message us prior to checkout to discuss your re-cording or reupholstery options. This set of chairs is a perfect blend of form and function, making it a sophisticated addition to any dining area. Niels Otto Moller was a Danish furniture designer, known for his modern and functional designs. He studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen and went on to work for various furniture manufacturers, including J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik, where he designed the Model 80 Dining Chairs. J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik was a Danish furniture manufacturer, founded in 1944 by Jorgen Langkilde Moller. The company was known for producing high-quality furniture in the Danish Modern style, using materials such as teak and oak. The company was in operation until the late 1970s. We currently only have these six Model 77 chairs in stock and when they sell they're gone forever. Make them yours today! ---Dimensions--- Width: 19.5 in / 49.53 cm Depth: 19.5 in / 49.53 cm Height: 30 in / 76.2 cm Seat Height: 18 in / 45.72 cm This set of ultra-rare model 77 Møller dining chairs has undergone some minor repairs over the years. The most involved repair includes dowls and can be seen in the photos provided. There are also scratches, nicks and other smaller crack repairs present (all of which can be seen clearly in the detail photos provided). With that said the solid teak frames and legs are in overall very good shape and the woodgrains are absolutely mesmerizing in natural light. As purists, we strive to keep our pieces in as original condition as possible. However we offer a full-range of expert restoration services from carpentry to upholstery to fabrication.
