Hi there,

Hoping someone might recognize these chairs. I don't believe they are Moller as I've not seen a design in this manner...but they definitely have similar characteristics. Also - they are not stamped...at least not that I can see beyond the roping/cord.

Kindly let me know if you have any info.

Many thanks!

They are indeed very N.O. Møller-ish but they're not in this catalog of his designes, which I think is complete:

(N. O. was the designer, J. L. was the name of the company.

Thanks Spanky! Appreciate your help.
I've also visited these sites and I believe his entire catalog is captured at jlm.dk. I have a set of 78s and 79s and the craftsmanship of this mystery set is definitely similar.
I will continue to search... If anyone has any ideas - please do let me know.
Thanks!

I know for certain that that list of N.O. Møller designs is not complete.
But I strongly doubt these are Møller chairs.

Nice chairs.
Aesthetically they look more like a design by Ejner Larsen than anything to do with Moller.

Leif, when you say "that list of N.O. Møller designs" I assume you're referring to the link I provided? Are there chairs that aren't on that list? I deal with the chairs all the time but not his other furniture designs.

it might be a reasonably complete list of chairs. Tables and other such pieces exempted. There are a few caveats about the chairs though. I've seen a Møller lounge chair that looks like a version of the famous model 55, which is not on the list. And then of course the self same famous model 55 is not exactly unequivocally a NO Møller design either.
edit: here is the Møller lounge chair:

There are definitely a few other models of Møller side chairs out there, I recently came across a set of model 80 side chairs, which I'd never seen before and aren't on the list!

Reamie, there are 3 pages of Moller designs on that site--you have to click on the link that reads "see next 10 records". The #80 chair is listed along with its variation(s).
