Gerard van den berg gerard van den berg is a dutch furniture designer famous for his unique leather sofas and lounge chairs in the late dutch mid-century. Many of his designs are distinctive from other items of the time. Like the "florence" or "rock" sofa, lounge chair and ottoman. Another classic item is his thick neck leather "ringo" sofa, but also newer chairs like the "chaplin" dining chair, "swoon" sofa and "longa" lounge chair are instant classics. In some way he and montis can be seen as the dutch "de sede" in the 70s and 80s. Many sofas and chairs have the same brutalist appearance, quality and the use of high end leather.
