Dagmar has over a decade of expertise restoring and working with classic 20th-century Scandinavian furniture. Rooted in Scandinavian Modern design, the brand embodies the balance of beauty, craftsmanship and function that defined the golden era of 1930–1970, a movement still shaping design today.

This year, Dagmar proudly introduces Carl Malmsten to its Classic Collection, including the Samsas chair and Samspel sofa, alongside a new edition of the Cirkus chair, back in production for the first time since the 1970s. These pieces will be presented alongside other icons of the collection, such as the Clam Chair by Arnold Madsen and the Medallion chair by Eva & Nils Koppel. A landmark moment for Scandinavian design history, Carl Malmsten, in London for the very first time. Professor Carl Malmsten was one of the towering figures of 20th-century Scandinavian design, a contemporary of Josef Frank and Gunnar Asplund who guided Swedish furniture from the craftsman's workshop into the industrial age, without ever losing sight of tradition. While many designers of his generation embraced the cool functionalism of the Bauhaus, Malmsten took the opposite path: a lifelong advocate for craft, comfort and the purity of natural materials. His upholstered pieces remain his most celebrated work chairs and sofas of extraordinary proportion and elegance, offering deep comfort within remarkably little space. In 1956, at the age of 68, Malmsten unveiled his most enduring designs, including the heart-backed Samspel sofa and the Cirkus chair, at the Levande Svensk Tradition exhibition in Gothenburg, produced in partnership with O.H. Sjögren, master upholsterers in Tranås since 1902. These pieces, born from decades of what designer Lena Larsson called his "principle of slow ripening," have never before been shown in the UK.
