Lazy Chairs

1970s

The Piece

Pair of Sculptural Dutch Lounge Chairs in New Soft Black Leather — An exceptionally relaxed pair of 1970s easy chairs by Gerard van den Berg for Montis, defined by their deep, low seating position, softly draped leather and unmistakably laid-back character.

There is something wonderfully effortless about these chairs. Rather than forcing the upholstery into a rigid architectural shape, Van den Berg allowed the seat to remain loose, generous and inviting. The leather seems almost casually draped over the slender cantilever frame, creating broad armrests, a deep seat and an enveloping backrest that naturally adapts to the body. They are true easy chairs in every sense: low, lazy and exceptionally comfortable.

Designer: Gerard van den Berg
Model: Lazy Chairs
Type: Easy chair, Lounge Chair
Year of Production: 1970s
Materiality: Soft black leather, tubular metal
Origin: The Netherlands
Condition: The chairs are in very good condition and have been professionally reupholstered in new, high-quality soft black leather. The leather is supple and intentionally allowed to drape naturally around the form, preserving the characteristic relaxed appearance of the design. The original metal frames show only minor signs of age and use. When acquired, both chairs retained their original Montis labels attached to the former grey fabric upholstery. As the chairs were subsequently reupholstered in leather, these fabric labels could not be retained on the finished pieces.
