Clam Chair

Clam Chair is an armchair from the Dagmar brand. It was designed in 1944 by the Danish upholsterer Arnold Madsen in Copenhagen. The following year, he founded the company Madsen & Schubell together with the cabinetmaker Henry Schubell, with the aim of producing this model, which in Danish was called Muslingstol – the clam chair – due to its sculptural shape.

Dagmar is relaunching the armchair in collaboration with Arnold Madsen’s estate, using a manufacturing method that combines traditional carpentry techniques and modern CNC milling. The armchair is made in Sweden and has a solid beech frame, with linen straps and foam padding. It is upholstered in sheepskin and comes with wooden legs.
