In the early 90s Marie-Christine Dorner designed this desk chair for Montis. Comfortable and adjustable seat with beautiful detailed backrest (this chair is armless and easily slides under any desk). Adjustable seat height 15-21 inches. The Fantome Chair by Montis is a distinctive and modern seating piece known for its sculptural design and comfortable form. Characterized by its smooth, flowing curves and minimalist silhouette, the chair is upholstered in high-quality cognac saddle leather, beautifully patinated with time, offering both luxury and comfort. The matte silver toned base is unusually light and willowy, somewhat reminiscent of Eames Eiffel tower chair bases, but with a round rather than sharp edged form. I think it makes the office chair appear elegant whilst keeping it functional.
Montis, a Dutch furniture brand, is known for its contemporary designs, and the Fantome Chair exemplifies their emphasis on craftsmanship and innovation. The chair's elegant, understated look makes it a perfect fit for sophisticated living spaces, blending functionality with an artistic aesthetic.
This chair is supremely comfortable and has a tiny footprint! Shown in the first photo is the armed version of the same chair (same leather and frame colors). The rest of the photos are of the actual chair for sale (armless version).
