High-end furniture brand Montana Furniture has added a new and exciting chair design to its comprehensive product catalogue. Designed by Danish designer Jens Martin Skibsted, the Maree range of chairs is refined with a rational approach that manifests itself in the straight lines and lack of superfluous details.

Maree meaning tide in French, the chair is originally inspired by the movement of the tide creating the distinctive wave-shaped sand grooves. Skibsted believes this shape provides both structural strength and an aesthetic element. It took five years for the designer to develop Maree from an idea to a final product. Many hours have been put into finding the ideal seating comfort and mastering the complexity of the upholstering due to the cut-out in the back. The soft edges of the chair recall the gentle waves of the ocean. Its sprawled pattern reminisces with the disappearing tracing on the sand once the tide washes over the shore.
Although lightweight, the chair is sturdy and comes with a weatherproof moulded plastic seat.
The chair’s seat is made in 100 per cent recycled plastic and is available in eight curated Montana colours, with legs in both chrome and lacquered finishes. Although lightweight, the chair is sturdy and comes with a weatherproof moulded plastic seat.
