Embrace the comfort Montis believes that beautiful design should also be comfortable. That’s why we make furniture inspired by the needs of modern life. We understand you don’t want to sacrifice aesthetics for the sake of comfort. Nor do you want to sacrifice comfort for aesthetics. That is the luxury of good design.

Design lovers, welcome to Montis. In the past forty years we have designed over a hundred pieces of furniture. From classics to innovative contemporary designs, we have always made furniture befitting modern life. A sofa that embraces you after a long day at work; a chair that welcomes your friends to a dinner party; or an armchair that invites you to read your mail at ease. Our artisanal details first please the eye, then the rest follows. Because everything has to be just right. We understand you don’t want to sacrifice design for the sake of comfort. Nor do you want to sacrifice comfort for design. Because a beautiful sofa must also be comfortable. That’s why we exclusively work with designers who, just like us, when they come home, want to enjoy the luxury of good design. Have a seat, have an espresso, and relax.
We present to you our collection.

Craftsmanship Comfort Quality Every Montis sofa or armchair offers a unique level of comfort to match its design. To guarantee this quality, we at Montis have invested in our own foam shaping facility where we work with high quality polyurethane foam. This gives our designers virtually unlimited freedom in shaping their designs. Together with our craftsmen, they strive to maximize comfort, tailoring to your personal use. Day after day. Year after year. Because only when form and comfort complement each other, we call a design a good design.

Niels Bendtsen
Simon Pengelly
Niels Bendtsen (1943) lives and works in Vancouver, Canada. He was educated at institutes in both Copenhagen (Denmark) and Vancouver (Canada). The ‘ribbon-chair’, designed by Niels, is an exhibit in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Simon Pengelly was born in Henley-on-Thames, England, in 1967. Originally trained at the bench, he was an award winning cabinetmaker before graduating from Kingston University in 1988. Pengelly started manufacturing furniture in the workshop of his father at the tender age of eight. He has since developed into a celebrated furniture design.
Arian Brekveld Arian Brekveld (Apeldoorn 1968) graduated from the Eindhoven Design Academy in 1995. After working for two years at Ontwerpwerk in The Hague, he has been an independent designer since 1998, working from his studio in Rotterdam. Without shaping his designs excessively, Brekveld designs are characterized by bright, clear lines. The result is an almost sober design with a timeless value, which is partly defined by a thorough examination of form and a tasteful and intelligent use of color and material.

Gijs Papavoine Gijs Papavoine (1949) studied at the institute of technology and Eindhoven Academy for Industrial Design, Product Design department. Gijs was employed as a Product Manager at Montis until 1990. In this capacity, he was jointly responsible for Montis’ design philosophy. In 1990, Gijs was promoted to dedicated designer of Montis.

AXEL Gijs Papavoine
10 Year Axel
AXEL Gijs Papavoine
The legs under the delicately cut cubist surrounds are almost hidden from view, as a result of which the couch seems to have no connection with the floor. The height of the seat is chosen quite high in order to simplify the standing up. Axel has more than 30 possible combinations because of all the different sizes and elements like for example the cornerseat.Axel is comfortable also an inviting and cosy appearance, for 10 years.

AXEL XL Gijs Papavoine
A Dutch sittingscape

With its expansive seating surfaces and generous modular elements, this sofa is not afraid to flirt with its surroundings. Every aspect of each element is finished with care, so they can be positioned flexibly. Just like the cushions: elegant, and slightly casual. Welcome your friends, enjoy a good glass of wine, a book, or a film. Whether you’re sitting or lying down, the AXEL XL provides the comfort you desire at any moment. And thanks to the active sitting height, you can get up with ease. If the day requires so.

HUB Niels Bendtsen “We’re so used to different shapes in sofas, you just want to calm down. And that’s exactly what this sofa does. Its simple silhouette embraces you with comfort.” The HUB redefines the strength of modern furniture design. Powerful in its simplicity, with an eye for detail and comfort. Constructed from elementary mathematical shapes, this modest design is quiet to the eye, and to the space. As the design becomes part of a room, it creates the illusion of a greater space.

Take a moment Observe how the colour of the thread combines with the fabrics. How every edge shows a different stitching, and how the subtle roundings pull the fabric taut and intensify the details.
Take your time The combination of fabrics. The thickness of the materials. The textures. The colours. By playing with contrasts, each individual feature is enhanced. 28
Allow your eye to wander Designed to allow space for your laptop or tablet, the wide armrests befit the contemporary zeitgeist.

NOA Gijs Papavoine The seat has been stitched through in a beautiful box stripe pattern. As a result of this no undesired big creases will develop despite the size of the seat length. A large thin supple cushion is an option to allow you to nestle down comfortably on any side. The seating properties are geared to North European needs when it comes to height and are firm enough to easily get up from.

The narrow back bends to the wider shape of the arm and the seat. This reminds of a spoon with which you eat Dim Sum with.

“The PUK LOW has a sculptural purity. Its generous design provides a high degree of comfort and space for movement, without the whole being overpowering.� The PUK LO W is the latest addition to the PUK family. Just like its bigger brother, it is designed to embrace you. Whether in the office or at home, its luxurious look invites you to sit down comfortably. Exactly the way you want, without compromising its contemporary esthetic. Its tranquil silhouette is like a blank canvas, ready to define your personal world. With or without buttons in the backrest, with either a contemporary wood or brushed metal base, the artisanal details express your character, and that of the space.
