or Call to Order

The Florence lounge chair, designed by Gerard van den Berg, is one of Montis’ early success­ful creations. With updates such as a lowered back, enhanced comfort, and addi­tional padding, the Florence armchair has been modern­ized to meet contem­po­rary quality stan­dards. The chair is in various fabrics and leather, provid­ing versa­til­ity to suit different preferences.

Whether chosen as a spacious single-seater or part of a multi-person sofa config­u­ra­tion, Florence exhibits a robust, playful design focus­ing on extreme comfort. As a homage to clas­sics from the 70s, this iconic piece has been revi­tal­ized for the future, show­cas­ing Montis’ commit­ment to merging time­less design with contemporary appeal.

After leaving Montis in the early Nineties, Gerard has worked as a freelance designer and founded and new furniture comapny Label . Over the years his work for leading international furniture companies and numerous prizes and awards testify to his creative ability.
