“A comfortable seat is the first handshake
a hotel gives to its guest.”

— Montbel, since 1959

— OUR HISTORY

Almost
seventy years
of experience

Our company was founded in 1959 by Silvano Montina, who immediately established the principles that still define our work today: quality of materials, attention to detail, and a focus on meeting our clients’ needs.

Our creations combine functionality and design, comfort and the ability to withstand rigorous testing, meeting the demands of our clients in the contract sector. Every year, through the introduction of new models, we aim to continue an ongoing evolution rooted in the past, expressed in the present, and projected towards the future.

We share our Italian identity by successfully exporting it throughout the world, with products that are exclusively 100% Made in Italy.

Our commitment to the circular economy and the environment is reflected in concrete choices: the use of FSC-certified wood from sustainable supply chains, water-based finishes, energy transition through state-of-the-art photovoltaic systems, and the complete recycling of wood waste, which is used to create new materials.

— The process

Multiple stages,
attention to every detail

Every Montbel seat goes through several production stages. From the selection of the finest hand-picked wood to the final finishing, every step is carefully carried out by skilled hands.

— Our values

What we
believe in

01

Raw Materials

Wood is the heart of every one of our seats. We carefully select high-quality materials chosen to ensure strength, comfort, and timeless elegance. We use wood sourced from authorized forests managed according to responsible practices, where trees are replanted to preserve the natural balance of this precious raw material.

02

Attention to Detail

Every Montbel seat is born from skilled hands and expertise built over time. From wood processing to assembly, through to the final finishing, every step is carefully overseen to transform the raw material into a beautiful, durable product designed to last.

03

Contract Ready

Beauty without performance does not exist in the contract sector. All our products are tested and certified according to CATAS and UNI EN standards for structural strength, intensive use resistance, and fire resistance. Not as an option, but as the starting point of every project.

04

Sustainability

Wood sourced from FSC-certified forests and water-based finishes. For us, sustainability is not just a certification to display: it is the way we have always worked, because respecting the raw material means respecting the work that goes into transforming it.
