Montis - george chair

Montis is a Dutch furniture manufacturer founded in 1974 in Dongen, a region long known for its leather tanneries. What began with modest roots, three brothers and two craftsmen, quickly evolved into a company celebrated for its modern design language and superior comfort. From its earliest days, Montis distinguished itself through innovative upholstery techniques such as their signature jacket method, where covers zip onto metal frames, best exemplified in enduring models like the Chaplin and Charly chairs. Craftsmanship, sustainability, and creative freedom are at the heart of Montis’ ethos. Its foam‑molding facility, the only one of its kind in the Netherlands, envelops steel frameworks in polyurethane to produce shapely, waste‑minimizing pieces that balance comfort and longevity. The company has been building sustainable practices for decades—many pieces are easily re‑upholstered, and their modular designs allow configurations to adapt over time, encouraging reuse rather than replacement. Montis collaborates with top-tier designers, initially propelled by Gerard van den Berg and later guided by Gijs Papavoine, followed by a roster of both Dutch and international talents including Dick Spierenburg, Gert Batenburg, Simon Pengelly, and Christophe Marchand. Their design language emphasizes playful yet refined geometries, striking color combinations, and human-centered sensibility. Today, Montis furniture—ranging from sofas like Axel and Domino.18 to elegant armchairs like Florence and Marvin appears in over 40 countries, embodying industrial elegance rooted in Dutch pragmatism and enduring quality.
