A bridge between Møller generations

In 2016, the history of Danish design wrote a new chapter when Kirsten Ann Møller, granddaughter of the legendary Niels Otto Møller, introduced the firm's first new designs in 35 years: the Models 77B and 77C stools. These stools are not mere pieces of furniture, but represent the continuation of a family legacy and the natural evolution of one of the house's most iconic designs: the Model 77 from 1959.

Design and tradition hand-in-hand

What makes these stools fascinating is that they have succeeded in bridging the past and present of Danish design. Kirsten A. Møller not only inherited the management of J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik, but proved to have inherited the family's talent for design as well. The 77B and 77C stools are a contemporary interpretation that keeps the Møller DNA intact: meticulous attention to detail, deep understanding of materials and respect for traditional craft techniques.

The new models retain the distinctive elements that made the original chair famous: the hand-woven seat with a single 1.5-meter paper cord, the gentle curves of the backrest, and the impeccable construction that has always characterized Møller furniture. However, Kirsten has adapted the proportions and height to create two versions: the bar stool (77B) and the counter stool (77C).

A gesture that goes beyond design

With these stools, it shows the continuity of the values that have defined the firm since its founding: excellence in craftsmanship, innovation that respects tradition, and an unwavering commitment to quality. By taking the iconic Model 77 as the starting point for her new designs, Kirsten not only honors her grandfather's legacy, but demonstrates how tradition can evolve without losing its essence.

The 77B and 77C stools are a testament to how Danish design continues to evolve without abandoning tradition. They represent the perfect moment where past and present meet, with creations that are both a tribute and a promise for the future. In a world where mass production and rapid design cycles are the norm, these stools remind us that true innovation can come from a deep respect for tradition and craftsmanship.
