Orla Mølgaard-Nielsen (12 September 1907 – 21 October 1993) was a Danish architect and furniture designer. He was born in Aalborg, Denmark. After training at the Aalborg Technical School (1924) and at the Art and Crafts School of the Design Museum in Copenhagen (1928), Mølgaard-Nielsen studied furniture design under Kaare Klint at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (1931–1934).

In 1944, Mølgaard-Nielsen partnered with Peter Hvidt to form the Hvidt & Mølgaard design studio. The duo quickly became one of the most influential furniture designers in Denmark, known for their clean lines, simple forms, and use of natural materials. Their work was inspired by the Danish Modern movement, which emphasized functionality and comfort.

Hvidt & Mølgaard designed a wide range of furniture, including chairs, tables, sofas, and lamps. Some of their most iconic pieces include the Ax chair (1950), the Drop chair (1952), and the Egg more... chair (1958). Their furniture was produced by leading Danish furniture manufacturers such as Fritz Hansen and France & Son.

In addition to furniture design, Mølgaard-Nielsen also worked on a number of architectural projects. He designed several schools, churches, and private homes. He also served as a consultant on large bridge projects.

Mølgaard-Nielsen's work has been exhibited in museums and galleries around the world and he is considered one of the most important Danish furniture designers of the 20th century. less...
