Buthelso gained the necessry skills while approprenticing as a Furniture Maker in His Father's Company in Hellevoetsluis. Of His ApprenticessHip, which began in childhood, van den berg said: there I learned to print to its technical performance. Under the Guidance of EXTREMELY EXPERIENCED CRAFTSMEN, I WAS ABLE To Polish and Fidle with My Models for Weeks And Manuel Skills. That is Why I REALLY KNOW HOW HOW SIT and How to Build a Seat. My Technical KNOWEDGE is an Essential Contribution to My Artistic Creativity.van Den Berg Designed Furniture for His Father Until Founding Montis with His Brother Ton in 1974.Allowing the Upholstery to Direct HIM While Remaining Solid and Comfortable. Today, Montis Designs can be found in Homes and Businesses In 1989, Van Den Berg Opened His Own Design Studio, Where He Continues to Design Seating Under the name Van Den Berg Design for Such Companies As Molteni, Perobell and Wittman.

In Keeping with Van Den Berg's Unwavering Vision, Label Seating Designs Place Paramount Emphasis on Comfort, Quality and a Casual Aesthetic. Without Exception, Van Den Berg's Seating Shows a Tension Between the Design and the Material Chosen - Angular Metal Legs Set Against a Full, Rounded Seat. For every seat, a base is designed to highlight the form, thus creating the beauty and counterpoint of Each of His Designs.
