The history of Ib Madsen and Acton Schubell originates with their fathers, Henry Hans Schubell and Arnold Madsen, a powerhouse duo in Danish furniture design throughout the mid-20th century, Henry Hans Schubell and Arnold Madsen collaborated as Madsen & Schubell with Dutch company, Bovenkamp and Vik & Blindheim on a range of furnishings, and created memorable lounge chairs, armchairs and other seating throughout the mid century.

Born in 1906, Schubell was an apprentice cabinetmaker turned foreman by his early 20s. As a supervisor for cabinetmakers Winter and Winding, Schubell oversaw furniture production in their workshop until the mid-1940s.

In 1944, a skilled upholster by the name of Arnold Madsen requested assistance from a cabinetmaker, to make a prototype lounge chair based on a plaster model he’d made. Accepting the challenge, Schubell impressed Madsen to the point that he suggested they enter into a partnership. The clam chair was their first collaboration as Madsen & Schubell.

The pair’s partnership ended in 1963 in order for the designers to establish separate companies.
