Andes designer sofa by Gerard van den Berg for Montis – dark brown leather, vintage 1970s
This characterful vintage designer sofa is an original Montis Andes, designed by top Dutch designer Gerard van den Berg in the 1970s. With its generous seat, thick saddle leather upholstery, and flowing organic lines, this is an iconic mid-century sculptural sofa that makes a statement in any interior.
The Andes embodies the craftsmanship and innovative spirit of Dutch design: comfortable, honest, and timeless. In terms of shape and seating comfort, it is reminiscent of classics like the Togo by Michel Ducaroy for Ligne Roset and the Le Bambole by Mario Bellini for B&B Italia—but with the rugged, down-to-earth look that makes Montis so recognizable.
