I like what the colours are adding to the design. It makes the chair a natural part of the Montana family and provides a more holistic outcome.

Marée

Originally inspired by the movement of the tide creating distinctive wave-shaped sand grooves, the shape of the Marée chair provides both a structural strength and an aesthetic element to the series.

It took five years for Jens Martin Skibsted to develop Marée from idea to final product. Many hours have been put into finding the ideal seating comfort and challenging the complexity of the upholstering due to the hole in the back.
