windy easy chair
by Gijs Papavoine from Montis
windy easy chair
Design Gijs Papavoine, 1992
Upholstery, steel legs
Made in Holland by Montis
One of the most important and practical features of this armchair is the modest amount of space it occupies. But despite its compact structure, the high concave back guarantees comfort. The high seat base gives the armchair 'active' seating characteristics and makes it suitable for people with long legs or those who want to be able to stand up easily. With the attractive geometrical shape of wind-filled sails, this easy chair conjures up images of a tethered yacht.
Gijs Papavoine studied at the institute of technology and Eindhoven Academy for Industrial Design in the product Design department. Gijs was employed as a Product Manager at Montis until 1990. In this capacity, he was jointly responsible for Montis' design philosophy. In 1990, Gijs was promoted to dedicated designer of Montis.
Windy is also offered with additional ottoman which continues the shape of the Windy fluently; therefore the 2 elements can be combined perfectly. Windy is available in your choice of a variety of fabrics and leathers, the legs are offered in high gloss chrome and the feet can be transparent, violet or anthracite.

Gijs Papavoine
Gijs started his career with Montis in the Product Development department and shared responsibility for design philosophy, leaving a clear mark on the company. Papavoine’s style is characterized by a clear, graceful and refined interplay of lines with a strong sense of simplicity.
Montis stands out with unique color combinations and the use of various leathers. Montis sets itself apart from its competitors and achieves high comfort by often applying techniques that came to be regarded as distinctly Dutch.
