IMMORTAL
The Scandinavian aesthetics were led by three countries, but diverged and shined in different ways due to geological and political differences. The concepts of these highly influential artists not only impacted contemporary design ideas, but also deeply influenced innovation in plastic arts for later generations, even being hailed as the ultimate standard. Among the most famous of these artists, are Danish designer Hans Wegner, and Finland's aesthetic master of design, Svend Aage Madsen. As they strive towards perfection, breakthroughs, innovation, and functionality, they also held on to their original intention, which is to care for people, and that's what made these chairs and furnitures grand, classic creations. Still, today, every one of these pieces are not only functional, but also the prize of many galleries and museums around the world. The craft aesthetics these artists possess made their works transcend their original creative concept, into intricately crafted and aesthetically pleasing sculptures with exquisite material, that are very much significant to this era.
Møller's work fully embodies the Danish love of wood materials and the pursuit of a minimalist design aesthetic; his chair is usually geometric, yet streamlined by the smooth curving details, so that anyone sitting on his chairs can directly feel the elegant details of fine craftsmanship. In the 1950s and 1960s, he opted to create furniture using precious teak and rosewood, which elevated the Møller chair to become a widely popular collector's’ favorite.
