Montique aluminium shelf, stepped build, in a warm room with an arch and olive tree

Pre-Launch · Batch 01 from July

Aluminium. Modular. Precise.

A furniture system in anodised aluminium — built to stay.

Manifesto

No seasonal goods.

Small batches, clear decisions.

No show.

The product is the advertising.

No replacement.

Expandable instead of disposable.

The System

Three parts. One idea.

The Montique system consists of two plate formats and one connection geometry — the M-Joint. No separate connectors, no screws, no hidden fittings. The plates lock directly into each other.

01

The Plate

Anodised aluminium, in two profile widths: Profile 18 and Profile 36. Vertical as a side plate, horizontal as a base plate, internal as a divider or shelf.

02

The M-Joint

The patented connection geometry. Visible, tool-free, zero play. Form-fitting, made in Germany — to tolerances unusual in the furniture industry.

03

The Configuration

Few parts, any configuration. Connect, adjust, done. Expandable, demountable, reconfigurable — without loss of quality.

The M-Joint

Built for decades.

Where other systems hide their engineering, we make it the point. The M-Joint is visible, confident, and precise enough to work without tools.

01

Connect

Set the modules together. The joint grips immediately — intuitive, no instructions, no tools.

02

Adjust

Fine-tune until it sits. Zero play, load-bearing, with a precision you can feel.

03

Done

Stable, lasting, expandable. Demountable and reconfigurable any time — without loss of quality.

The Advantages

Tool-free

No hex key, no drill. Assembled in minutes, with your hands alone.

Zero play

The joint holds. No wobble, no rattle. Precision you hear — as in, not at all.

Expandable

Start with one module. Grow when life asks for it. Every extension backward-compatible.

Demountable

Moving? Rebuilding? Fully disassemblable, reconfigurable, without material loss.

Material & Origin

Premium is made at the edge.

Premium is not made in marketing. It is made at the edge, in the joint, in the surface.

Anodised aluminium

The anodic layer forms electrochemically within the material itself. It is part of the aluminium, not a coating. Scratch-resistant, UV-stable, colour-fast for life, 100% recyclable.

Anodised or powder-coated

Two finishing routes. Anodised for metallic depth and the highest durability. Powder-coated for specific tones and matte-velvet surfaces.

Made in Germany

Developed and manufactured in Germany. In small batches, in direct coordination with specialised production partners. No anonymous volume business.

Journal

Material, construction, design history.

Why we make connections visible.

On Rietveld, Prouvé, and the honesty of the joint.

In preparation

Anodised vs. powder-coated — what actually matters.

Material knowledge without the marketing noise.

In preparation

What „modular" means here — and what it doesn’t.

An anti-buzzword statement.
