Description
Overview
The Montana System is the shelving system by Peter J. Lassen; the series page lists the year 1982, the year Montana Furniture was established. Montana presents it as endless possibilities with 36 basic modules, 4 depths and 43 poetic finishes (the product pages say 41 colours), from which you design your own personalised shelving system.
Construction
The system is made in 12 mm MDF, and Montana says it was certified with the EU Ecolabel in 2019. A composition is planned in three steps: size (from the basic modules), details (shelves, doors with handles or push, glass doors, drawers, trays, lighting, and suspension, legs, plinth or castors) and colours.
Specifications
- Representative module: Shelf 1341 (three open compartments), W 46.8 × H 69.6 × D 30 cm with a suspension rail (basic-units listing)
- Shelf 1341 is available in depths of 30, 38 and 46.8 cm, with suspension rail, plinth, legs or castors
- Material: 12 mm MDF, lacquered; the company page places the design, development and production of every module in Denmark
Story
Size, details, colour
Montana's system page gives three planning steps. The size comes first, taken from basic modules of varying depth, height and width. Next come the details: trays, drawers, doors, shelving and lighting, plus a plinth, legs, castors or wall suspension. Colours are the last step.
Shelf 1341
The Shelf 1341 page describes a classic Montana module with three open compartments; it is offered in depths of 30, 38 and 46.8 cm and in all of Montana's lacquer colours. The basic-units listing gives W 46.8 × H 69.6 × D 30 cm on a suspension rail.
