Peter J. Lassen came to furniture from the Danish navy, moving into the industry in 1954. Over the following decades he worked alongside Arne Jacobsen, Jørn Utzon, Piet Hein and Verner Panton — an unusually direct line into the generation that defined Danish modernism.
He founded Montana in 1982 in Hårby, on the island of Funen, and designed the shelving system that carries the company's name. The square module, the rounded corner and the strong colour were all unexpected at the time, and the system was taken up quickly.
The idea was never a single piece of furniture. Thirty-six base modules in four depths, finished in more than forty colours, are meant to be combined by whoever owns them. Lassen put it as a requirement rather than a style: good design demands honesty and respect.

Jørgen Rasmussen trained as an architect at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, and worked from the beginning on the question of how people sit while they work.
The Kevi chair of 1958 came out of that. Its best known part is the double-wheel castor he invented for it — a small mechanism that made a chair roll properly on more than one kind of floor, and which has since been used across countless industrial designs.
The four-legged Kevi 2060 came much later, when Rasmussen returned to his own sketches for stackable seating. Montana produces it in oak, in lacquer over eight of the Montana colours, and upholstered.
Danish and family-run since 1982, Montana makes one modular system in many colours, built entirely in Denmark.
Peter J. Lassen founded Montana in 1982 around a single modular system — a square box with rounded edges, missing corners and retracted fronts. His son Joakim runs the company today, the fifth generation of the family in furniture.
Every module is made on the island of Funen, finished in water-based lacquer since 2007, in a palette developed with the colour designer Margrethe Odgaard. The system carries the EU Ecolabel.
