This is the J L Moller Model 75 dining chair, a Danish mid-century classic designed by Niels Moller in 1954 and manufactured by J L Mollers Mobelfabrik. This example is a new ex-showroom display piece, offered in oil-rubbed oak with a rich brown colour.
Design and comfort
The Model 75 is one of Moller's most respected designs, combining a sculpted plywood back with a solid oak frame. The curved backrest works with the carefully judged seat height and depth to give firm support that remains comfortable through long dinners. The oil-rubbed finish highlights the wood grain and gives the chair a smooth, satin sheen.

Ex-display condition
This chair is described by the seller as new ex-showroom display stock. That means it may show minor signs of handling or surface marks from being on display, but it has not been used at home. It is an end-of-line piece, which is why it is offered at a reduced price compared with new retail. When buying ex-display furniture, it is worth inspecting the item or asking the seller for any close-up photographs of the frame, seat and backrest. Check that the oil-rubbed finish is even and that there are no structural issues with the joints or legs.
The Model 75 stacks neatly when not in use, making it a practical choice for a dining room that needs flexible seating. It pairs well with a range of dining tables and is equally at home around a kitchen island or as an extra chair in a living space.
