Minimal, subtle, yet distinctive, Moller Chair, the exertion of Danish craftsmanship, has always been a favourite by Scandinavian Modern Design enthusiasts. The Moller Chair collection comes from JL Møller, founded in 1944 by Niels O. Møller named after the family business established by his father Jorgen L. Møller in the 1920s and forced to close during the recession. In 1952, the Moller Chair began to be exported to Germany and the United States and by 1974, the business was expanded to the Japanese market.

Inspired by traditional chairs influenced by ancient Islamic culture during a 1958 trip to Andalucia, Spain, Morgensen modernized the design concept. With its wide armrests as a signature detail, The Spanish Chair integrated sturdy saddle leather into the backrest and the seat that is secured by adjustable shoulder straps, giving an iconic appeal. All the while, The Spanish Chair made in Denmark is crafted in oak. As the market continues to expand, the manufacturer, the century-old Danish Modern design brand Fredericia, now offers an edition of The Spanish Chair made in American  walnut   from a sustainable source.
