The annual 3daysofdesign festival in Copenhagen always brings a fresh perspective on how we arrange our homes and workspaces. This year, Danish brand Montana Furniture is making an especially strong impact at its flagship store and showroom. Known for its dedication to sustainable storage and adaptable setups, the company is introducing a series of launches that look closely at how paint, shape and volume alter our everyday surroundings.
From 10 to 12 June 2026, visitors can see a collection that links historical archival discoveries with modern adjustments. The showcase includes a time-limited colour revival, a graphic update to a classic 1960s sofa, an expanded bathroom collection and a vibrant anniversary piece that honours one of Denmark’s most famous designers.
The colour archive limited edition
Montana Furniture is dipping into its history to bring back three specific shades for a single year, running from June 2026 to June 2027. These choices: Montparnasse, Boulevard and Extreme Lilac, will be available only on the classic 1112 module within the Montana System.
The strategy harks back to the company’s early days. Founder Peter J. Lassen was close friends with the architect Verner Panton, which led Lassen to treat colour as a structural tool rather than a surface decoration. Each revived shade has a distinct identity.
Montparnasse is a deep tone that acts as an anchor in a room, creating strong contrasts. Boulevard is an intricate mustard shade with green undertones that gives a sense of warmth. Extreme Lilac is bright and energetic, adding a playful feel to the pieces around it. Rather than following current trends, these options show how paint can change the mood of a room based entirely on how the units sit together.
Geometric clarity in block colours
Another major focus at the showroom is a new look for the Paradigm Modular Sofa. First designed by Erik Rasmussen in 1969, Montana Furniture acquired the licence from his family and reintroduced the sofa in 2025. For 2026, the piece gets a dramatic update using a method called colour blocking.
Instead of covering the entire sofa in one material, this version gives every single flat surface its own distinct blue or green hue. By assigning a different tone to each plane, the design draws sharp attention to the edges, corners and transitions of the furniture. The result is highly graphic, changing its appearance depending on the angle from which you view it. This version of the Paradigm sofa will be available from September 2026 until June 2027.
A flexible reset for the bathroom
Moving beyond living areas, the company is relaunching its Montana Bathroom series in September 2026. The updated collection introduces new dimensions for wall cabinets, mirror units and general bathroom furniture, alongside fresh options for countertops and hooks. The goal of the update is to make the modular system work just as well in tiny cloakrooms as it does in large, open family bathrooms. By expanding the sizing and incorporating the full company colour palette, the brand makes it easier to design storage that matches the rest of the house. Washbasins, mirrors and storage boxes can be combined in whatever configuration fits the specific layout of the room.
Honouring Verner Panton with Tangerine
To celebrate what would have been the 100th anniversary of designer Verner Panton, Montana Furniture is releasing a special edition of his 1971 Panton Wire system. Painted in a bright, glowing orange called Tangerine, this version will be on sale for exactly one year starting on 10 June 2026.
The Panton Wire design relies on simple grid shapes that allow light to pass straight through. It can be stacked on the floor or mounted on a wall to hold books and objects. The choice of Tangerine points directly to Panton’s famous love for bright, experimental interiors. Because the wire frames are open, the orange metal interacts constantly with the light and shadows in the room, making a strong visual statement while remaining completely practical.
Changing our view of storage
What makes this collection successful is the refusal to treat storage as an afterthought or a hidden necessity. By manufacturing these EU Ecolabel-certified systems in Denmark and giving people the tools to choose their own shapes and shades, Montana Furniture reminds us that the items we use to hold our belongings can actively dictate the character of our homes. The presentation proves that furniture is most effective when it abandons neutrality and embraces a clear, colourful point of view, allowing people to arrange their rooms according to their own personal tastes.
