The Clam Chair was designed in 1944 in Copenhagen by Danish upholsterer Arnold Madsen. In 1945 Arnold founded the furniture company Madsen & Schubell together with cabinetmaker Henry Schubell in order to produce this unique chair that became known in Danish as the: 'Muslingstol' (Clam Chair), due to its unique shape.
This new edition has been crafted using a blend of traditional joinery techniques and modern technology, resulting in an authentic product of the highest quality. Dagmar is proud to re-launch this icon of the Danish Modern movement in collaboration with the estate of Arnold Madsen.
BRAND HIGHLIGHT
Founded in 2014, Dagmar produces classic 20th century Scandinavian furniture for the modern home. Scandinavian Modern design represents the perfect marriage between aesthetic beauty, quality craftsmanship and functionality. This feat was achieved by a movement of culture-defining designers and craftsmen in a golden era from 1930 - 1970. Thanks to the creativity and skill of these visionaries, Scandinavian Modern design remains crucially relevant nearly 100 years since its inception.At Dagmar we use our expert knowledge of this period to select designs, both iconic and obscure, to reissue as part of our carefully curated heritage collection. Our furniture is authentically reproduced in Denmark and Sweden by highly skilled craftspeople with an obsessive attention to detail. Our expertise in the field has been developed over more than a decade of restoring and selling thousands of vintage Scandinavian design pieces at our workshops in London.

DESIGNED BY
Arnold Madsen
rnold Madsen (1907-1989) is one of the best kept secrets of the Danish Modern era, despite the fact that some of his furniture pieces today have classic status. Arnold Madsen was an atypical representative of Danish modernism. He had neither studied architecture, nor was he a trained furniture designer or cabinetmaker. And he did not loudly advertise his furniture. Despite being a man of few words, his drive and determination led him to create some of the era’s most experimental furniture. Investigating form and materials, in particular round shapes, he created elegant designs—visually light, meticulously upholstered yet stable and comfortable. His Oda Chair represents his pioneering approach. A welded steel frame connected to a piece of bent plywood and fixed armrests within the shell made the design revolutionary.
