GERARD VAN DEN BERG LEATHER AND RATTAN SWIVEL LOUNGE CHAIR FOR MONTIS

Gerard van den Berg / Montis / Netherlands

Light Woven Rattan Frame Contrasted Beautifully with Natural Leather Cushion and Headrest. In Original Condition with Some Visible Wear and Breakage to Rattan Consistent with Age and Use. 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.
