Reveling in the rich tactility of the fabric upholstery, Tristan Lohner has created a chair that invites the user to relax for hours. Like the accompanying sofa, the Montholon Lounge Chair is generously proportioned with striking, voluptuous curves that enfold the sitter in a soothing embrace.
Lohner’s work explores the relationship between objects and people, designing functional and aesthetically pleasing pieces that enhance their surroundings. Working in collaboration with Wendelbo, Lohner has created a sumptuously comfortable chair, imbued with an incredible lightness by the recessed base and the upholstery’s flowing curves.
Tristan Lohner’s career in interior design began under Bernard Daude, the cabinetmaker for Pierre Paulin for Mobilier National, France’s national repository of furniture.
After acquiring his Arts and Crafts diploma in cabinetmaking, Lohner studied product design in Paris under renowned designer Jean-Marie Massaud. An accomplished musician, he studied harmony and jazz piano at CIM Paris. Lohner imbues his work with paired-back honesty, exploring the intimate relationship between the object and its user. His playful designs are beautiful examples of contemporary design.
