Montana Paradigm 2 seater Sofa with arm, Hallingdal fabric.

With sculptural simplicity and refined materials, Paradigm offers a versatile take on modern comfort. Featuring straight and corner modules alongside a pouffe, the system can be reconfigured, expanded, or separated to accommodate changing spaces and needs. Montana Furniture’s addition of linking brackets ensures secure module connections, while removable covers and fully replaceable components make the sofa as practical as it is elegant.

These updates promote longevity and sustainability, ensuring Paradigm is designed to evolve with you—a sofa built for flexibility, modern life, and lasting appeal. Available in an array of new fabric options, including textiles from Kvadrat and Gabriel, Paradigm is suitable for residential, commercial, and hospitality environments. It is made of fire-resistant foam and can be specified with high legs for easier floor cleaning—features that make it ideal for both private homes and public spaces.

“We’re proud to welcome Paradigm into the Montana Furniture universe,” says CEO Joakim Lassen. “Its modularity, visual clarity, and enduring functionality align seamlessly with our design DNA –intelligent, playful, and built to last.”

Erik Rasmussen’s graphic and sculptural design sensibility shaped both furniture and visual identity—most notably Paustian’s iconic logo, which won the 1993 Industrial Graphics Award. His original modular sofa for Paustian now lives on as Paradigm, a future-proof system that continues his visionary legacy while aligning with Montana Furniture’s commitment to thoughtful, sustainable design.

About the designer Erik Rasmussen.

Architect Erik Rasmussen (1930–1984) designed the sofa for Paustian in 1969 while working as a graphic designer at the company. Paustian had requested a modular, sculptural, and minimalist piece where form and textile could truly take center stage.

Erik Rasmussen responded with the sofa’s distinctive rounded seat and backrest. Today, his design is celebrated for its sculptural relationship to space, leaving a lasting impact on modern Scandinavian design. His original modular sofa now lives on as Paradigm, a future-proof system that continues his visionary legacy while aligning with Montana Furniture’s commitment to thoughtful, sustainable design.
