De Sede Seating

Swiss

A de Sede piece lends a strong personality to the room it occupies. One of the world’s most respected furniture design houses, de Sede’s quality Swiss craftsmanship has its foundation in a long history of making expertly designed saddles. Founded in 1965 to build on a successful family-run saddler’s workshop in Klingnau, Switzerland, de Sede now is a leading manufacturer of leather goods and furniture, including sofas, chairs and beds.

At the core of de Sede’s philosophy is a reverence for the complexity and beauty of handcrafted furniture in an age when mass-produced objects are the norm. Over the years, the atelier has built a name for itself in its modular furniture pieces, which are made using the highest quality leather upholstery. The sleek, elegant pieces incorporate functionality with beauty. Amongst their best-selling designs is the DS-600 introduced in 1972. Also known as the Non Stop sofa, it is a sensually curved, snaking modular sofa whose individual pieces can be zipped together to create multiple variations and arcs.

De Sede has collaborated with some of the world's finest design minds, enhancing the prestige and individuality of their products. Designers like Santiago Calatrava, Antonella Scarpitta, Stephan Hürlemann, Gordon Guillaumier and Philippe Malouin have all created pieces with the atelier. Ubald Klug’s 1974 DS-1025, also known as the Terrazza sofa, is an enduring favorite with its cascading levels of leather. In 2017, de Sede expanded its product line to include high-quality leather handbags, which are as thoughtfully designed and beautifully crafted as its furniture. De Sede AG is now part of the Volare Group AG and continues to handcraft its fine furniture and other goods from its factory in Klingnau.

Similar to the DS-80/91, the DS-80/03 is the ultimate synergy of high end leather and quality craftsmanship. First introduced over 50 years ago, the DS-80/03 is still a must have for any interior designer with a preference for leather. Born out of a small workshop in Klingnau, Switzerland, de Sede has maintained a passion for over 55 years to transform the finest leather into seating furniture. Striking by design, a piece from de Sede is the epitome of functionalism and fashion. Iconic models such as the DS-600, with its snake shaped concept, and the DS-140, which introduced a rotation system that can turn a beautiful sofa into an elegant double lounge chair in two steps are celebrated as revolutionizing the furniture industry forever. Now available at MONC XIII.
