Mont’s designs set him apart as a singular figure of the American mid century. movement. Straddling the overlapping worlds of Art Deco, Hollywood Regency, and Mid Century Modern, he conformed to and defied all of them. His work displays a heavy reliance on the Chinoiserie style so popular in European design of the previous century. Feeling himself to be representative of The Orient, Mont was always trying to incorporate its aura into his furniture.
Chinoiserie is a curiously enduring genre in Western decorative arts. For his part, Mont put down his love of the Asian to his ethnicity. “I am an Oriental,” he said. The delicate touch of Oriental spice is just as necessary in furniture design as it is in fine cooking. Others explain the popularity of Chinoiserie in Mont’s day as a matter of zeitgeist. “It was a form of escapism,” says design historian Donald Albrecht. less
