Among the modular-storage products out there that have stood the test of time is Montana's box-like system, an instant classic when it was launched back in 1982. Designed by the Danish brand's founder, Peter J Lassen, it pulls off the rather neat feat of being rational, yet warm, at once an object of colourful, sculptural expression and a vessel that manages to recede into the background when housing objects. No wonder it's become a go-to favourite for offices and other contract environments.
But Montana isn't resting on its laurels, by any means. Check out its latest competition here, to rethink the office lobby. Very outside-the-box! | | | Simon Keane-Cowell, Editor-in-Chief | | |
