It was 1995 when a young entrepreneur, Tim Zyto, created the first Montauk Sofa. Tim had grown up steeped in the old world tradition of sofa making. His father was the owner of Biltmore Chesterfield, a successful, well respected furniture maker, who sold to retailers across Canada. The original Montauk Sofa store opened in Montreal on St. Laurent Boulevard, an iconic cultural corridor fondly refer
red to as the Main. Zyto brought in Danny Chartier, as head designer and executive manager and together they made up the ying and yang of what is today recognized as the Montauk brand. The larger than life minimalist cool space soon became a magnet for the ne plus ultra clientele and the go to destination for interior designers and decorators across the city. You can now find a Montauk Sofa showroom in the most dynamic cities in North America - Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, New York and Chicago. All Montauk Sofa upholstered products are hand made at their Montreal factory in St. Henri. Montauk sofas always start out with a traditional solid wood frame
covered with springs which are held in place by eight-strand flax rope (the highest standard in the industry), all covered by memory foam and down filled feather cushions. There is no compromising on quality. “More wood, more metal, more feathers,” Zyto confirms. The depth of the couch is generous, the cushions offer incredible support, allowing you to sit or lounge in absolute comfort. The Montauk Collection offers Modern, Classic, Slip Covered and Archetype styles. All upholstered items are available in sofa, loveseat, sectional, sleeper or chair format. Montauk is renowned for their eco minded values. Carbon neutral since 2006, all emissions are off-set. Their sofas are designed to be recycled, either back to the earth or into another product, with the goal of becoming a zero emission company.
