Gerard van den Berg ‘swing’ lounge fauteuil for Montis

One of the innovations Gerard van den Berg has encouraged, in post-war furniture design, is the notion of not basically starting from the framework. Concerning the frame you are always tied to a particular gauge and this determines your design . If you take the lining as starting point , it usually gives you much more freedom in your options . For example, the hammock gave Gerard the idea that, by smart use of the upholstering, he was able to create optimum comfort without needing a heavy interior construction. As a result, he has been able to make his design nimble and slender yet sturdy and comfortable. This beuatiful design is names Swing chair.

The chair has a matt chrome frame and a black sling shell in leather. The stiching is in diamond motif and this gives the chair a more luxury look and feel. The chair is in good condition consistent with age and use.
