Dagmar reintroduces Kai Kristiansen’s Entre collection, restoring a mid-century modern classic with updated craftsmanship and materials. Originally designed in the 1950s, the series was celebrated for its modular character and refined proportions, offering benches, chests, and tables that balanced elegance with practicality. By revisiting these forms, Dagmar ensures the designs remain relevant while honoring Kristiansen’s vision.
The revival features key pieces including a bedside table, bench, and stool crafted in oak and walnut with subtle detailing such as chamfered legs and half-moon drawer pulls. Upholstery sourced from leading textile houses provides a contemporary touch, while modular flexibility allows each item to function individually or as part of a cohesive arrangement. The new edition demonstrates how heritage designs can adapt to modern living, reaffirming the enduring influence of Scandinavian modernism in today’s interiors.
