HOT ! Karu Chair (COM)

The Dagmar Karu Chair is a contemporary reissue of a classic Scandinavian design, first produced in Finland by Haimi Oy in the early 1950s. With its gently curved arms, subtly winged back, and inviting stance, the Karu Chair embodies the refined, post-war Nordic aesthetic. Its graceful proportions make it ideal for use in a bedroom, reading nook, or living room setting.

Originally crafted by Haimi Oy, the Finnish furniture company founded by Gunnar Haimi in 1943, the Karu Chair reflects the company’s dedication to high-quality, upholstered design. Influenced by the work of early modernists like Märta Blomstedt, Haimi Oy helped define the Finnish modern aesthetic through its commitment to craftsmanship and comfort. By the 1960s, Haimi evolved under lead designer Yrjö Kukkapuro and gained international acclaim for producing groundbreaking modernist furniture—including pieces by Marcel Breuer and Tobia Scarpa.

Revived by Dagmar, a company founded in 2014 to reissue classic 20th-century Scandinavian furniture for the contemporary home, the Karu Chair is now handcrafted in Denmark and Sweden using traditional methods and premium hardwoods. Each chair is hand-finished to emphasize the character and beauty of natural materials, offering lasting durability and timeless appeal.

The Dagmar Karu Chair is available in a curated selection of luxurious upholstery options, including Pierre Frey\'s Teddy long-pile mohair velvet and Sahco’s Zero boucle. Every detail reflects Dagmar’s deep expertise in Scandinavian design and its mission to preserve and reintroduce authentic, iconic, and lesser-known pieces from the golden era of Scandinavian Modernism.

Whether placed in a serene Scandinavian interior or a richly layered eclectic space, the Dagmar Karu Chair brings historical significance, thoughtful proportions, and quiet elegance to any room.
