MONTANA. The Story and Values Behind the Brand

"People have a need for freedom and a desire to create their own personal spaces" Peter Lassen, Founder Montana.

In 1982, at the age of 54, Peter Lassen established Montana based on five core values: Functionality | Quality | Environment | Aesthetics | Ethics

In 1982, drawing inspiration from globally renowned Danish designers at Fritz Hansen and the potential offered by the industrial age, Peter J. Lassen established Montana Furniture. His profound journey in the design business began in 1958 when Fritz Hansen, one of Denmark’s esteemed furniture brands, hired him to lead product planning and development. This marked the inception of Lassen’s lifelong adventure in design, working closely with iconic figures like Arne Jacobsen and Verner Panton. By 1975, he became CEO of Fritz Hansen, steering the company toward the industrial era's opportunities and eventually paving the way for Montana's creation.
