Product description
A distinctive example of European postmodern seating design, the Fantôme office chair by Marie-Christine Dornerbalances sculptural form with refined ergonomics. The chair’s softly contoured leather seat appears almost floating within its metal structure, lending the design a sense of lightness despite its robust construction.
The gently patinated leather adds depth and character, while the subtle industrial frame and expressive armrests reflect Dorner’s talent for combining comfort with visual clarity. Designed in the 1990s for Montis, a Dutch manufacturer known for its progressive approach to contemporary furniture, the Fantôme chair exemplifies a period in which office furniture became increasingly expressive and design-driven.
This piece works equally well as a functional desk chair or as a sculptural accent within a curated interior, where its postmodern language and tactile materials can be fully appreciated.
