GERARD VAN DEN BERG LEATHER AND RATTAN LOUNGE CHAIR FOR MONTIS

Gerard van den Berg / Montis / Netherlands

Original Rattan Lounge Chair with New Leather Cushion... Gerard Van Den Berg arguably defined a turning point from classic Mid-Century Dutch furniture design to more contemporary design using different materials, such as rattan and leather. For Montis, a company he started with his brother, his design aesthetic stemmed from concepts of comfort - cushiony seats with a solid and sturdy body. Nevertheless, he maintains a sleek elegance to each piece with his balanced, and often singular, use of warm leather upholstery and carefully placed stitching.
