Every step we take at Montis can be traced back to one driving principle: we are committed to creating modern furniture that makes you happy – whether you’re using it or looking at it. Our designs become long-term friends; not for a little while, but for many years to come. Like a partner you can rely on. We translate varying residential needs into comfortable, high-quality products. They bear the unique signature of our designers, yet at the same time, they are seamlessly tailored to your personal lifestyle. At Montis, we stand for delivering on that promise with exceptional precision, dedication and tenacity – day in, day out.
We all have to start somewhere. Montis was established in 1974. If you look closely at our dotted logo, you’ll recognize the open-minded spirit of the seventies, when the Dutch cautiously let go of old-fashioned civility and started dreaming of bolder, contemporary shapes. At Montis, we are firm believers of ‘Question everything, but keep the good.’ Innovative techniques and new materials help us to keep moving forward. Quality, craftsmanship, functionality, and the ideal balance between comfort and aesthetics are not just empty words at Montis; they are the compass to the future in our on-going pursuit of industrial elegance. Our style is sophisticated, stylish, a little playful, modest, and always has its own distinct voice, as self-evident and familiar as the dots in our logo.
We work with and for enthusiastic people who have a positive attitude towards life, in the Netherlands and abroad. Our pieces are sold all over the world, in more than 40 countries. The professionals in our cold cure flexible foam molding facility and our sewing, gluing and upholstery workshops all work together to create the perfect end product. Their craftsmanship and commitment to the brand is of the highest order. It’s not for nothing that many colleagues celebrate their 25th or 40th anniversary at Montis. We source most of our materials locally, in the Netherlands or nearby. We pay close attention to feedback from our team, our partners, our customers and the market demand. Because at Montis, we like to stay right in the middle of things
Craftsmanship, love of comfort and materials have been the guiding principles for Montis furniture pieces since 1974, which are grounded in sustainability.
Sustainability may sound a bit like a buzzword these days. But for us, it is a principle we’ve been building on for decades. Sustainability means much more than recycling and placing new value on existing materials.
We’ve been developing furniture that we can easily re-upholster for you since the 1980s. We’ve also designed a range of models that allow you to easily change the covers yourself, either because they are in need of replacement after years of heavy use, or because you are ready for something new.
Perfecting modular pieces is also part of our commitment to sustainability. A modular sofa can be adapted to your needs. Are you moving into a larger space, or is your project, practice or waiting room getting bigger? You can easily add new elements. Do you need something smaller? Simply remove a few modules. That way, you can always tailor your setup to your needs and location. Your sofa grows with you.
For quite some time, manufacturing in a high-wage country like the Netherlands was regarded as being old-fashioned. We’ve never seen it that way. In the meantime, the increasing climate pressure and urgency to minimize our ecological footprint have made the case for local production. This leads to better and more sustainable products. Long-distance transport is also increasingly ill-suited to what the earth will ask of us in the future. Sustainable choices benefit both our customers and our planet.
When we work together for sustainability, it leads to promising new collaborations. To inspiring innovations that are beneficial for both materials and people.
That’s why we’re bringing our ambitions and initiatives for sustainability into Montis’ Sustainability Statement . This is our compass for the future; a firm incentive for sustainability as we move towards the year 2030.
By then, we hope to be fully sustainable across our entire chain.
