Wammes Lounge Chair

Wammes Lounge Chair by Gerard van den Berg for Montis — Natural Cognac Leather Lounge Chair on a Metal Swivel Base. Designed in the early 1970s, the Wammes chair represents the experimental and sculptural phase of Dutch designer Gerard van den Berg. Created around the founding years of Montis, the model embodies the relaxed and informal spirit that defined 1970s interiors. Its organic silhouette and low inviting posture make it a true statement piece within any curated design collection. The chair is executed in thick cognac leather that has developed a rich and even patina over time. The design is characterized by its high slender backrest and its generously folded seat and arm sections that appear almost pillow like. Visible stitched leather panels emphasize the construction while allowing the material to naturally shape itself around the filling. The swivel base in dark metal provides visual lightness and contrast to the voluminous upper body. Today the Wammes is appreciated as an iconic example of early 1970s Dutch design. Less common than later Montis models it appeals to collectors and interior architects who favor sculptural seating with warmth texture and historical relevance.
