J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik's Danish Cord Chairs

History of J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik's and Their Danish Cord Chairs

J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik, founded by Niels Otto Møller in the 1940s, is a renowned Danish furniture manufacturer known for its exceptional craftsmanship and timeless designs. The company has a rich history spanning several decades, during which it has produced iconic chairs that have become synonymous with Danish design.

In the 1950s, J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik began to gain international recognition. Chair models 71 and 55, designed in 1951, were selected for the prestigious Frank Lloyd Wright 'Hanna House' project in San Francisco. They were beginning the company's exports to Germany and the United States. As demand increased, the factory moved to a more extensive workshop in Aarhus, Denmark.

The paper cord used at Caning Canada is made of FSC-certified, sustainable materials. We use three different colours of paper cord. Natural paper cord made of unbleached paper; white paper cord which has been bleached, and black cord which has been dyed.
