Colours are never static, never boring, never quite the same.
They interact with sunlight, with other colours in their surroundings and the items you add to them. The Montana colour palette features 30 poetic and complex colours, developed in collaboration with colour expert Margrethe Odgaard, to have both a visual and sensory appeal, all intertwined in a close-knit family that will match no matter how you choose to combine them.
Throughout history humans have gone to great lengths to add colour to objects, clothes and works of art – subtracting colour pigments from minerals, bugs, cobber and even arsenic, lead and radium to get the colour just right. Luckily, today the process of creating new colours is less comprehensive and de nitely less poisonous. While not using actual pigments from nature, many of our 30 new colours take their inspiration from nature and the world around us; spices, plants and herbs.
The Montana colour palette spans cold to warm colours, and light to dark colours to encompass all moods and ambiences. Each colour has its own texture and surface.
- After finishing, all edges and surfaces are primed four times with a UV-hardened lacquer, then polished. Montana's surface coating is water-based, highly durable lacquer that is formaldehyde-free and does not contain any fumes or harmful substances.
- To clean, use a clean, dry cloth or a cloth wrung out in soapy water and wipe dry immediately.
