DS-9090 Handstitched Leather Beanbag Chair by De Sede
By De Sede
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Beanbag chair DS-9090 by De Sede. Beanbags have long been a part of the De Sede inventory, but the manufacture has now gone one step further with the launch of DS-9090, a beanbag that defines sitting itself. A pyramid-shaped insert made of high quality, stabile DS-SELECT leather gives the ‘shapeless’ model a seat direction and seating hollow – an innovation in the history of the beanbag. This step optimizes both the seating comfort and the appearance of the undefined shape of the beanbag. As with previous beanbag models, DS-9090 is filled with De Sede fill, a combination of foam and beads, and the insert in DS-SELECT is integrated with a handstitched seam. Whether as an eye-catcher in the living room, a stylish, additional seating option, or a cozy and relaxing object around the home, DS-9090 can be seen in the definition of its eternally beautiful, characteristic beanbag shape.
Details:
Standard configuration: Seating hollow in SELECT black leather. For casing upholstery options, please choose from SELECT leather swatches...

Antique, New and Vintage Children's Furniture
When you’re shopping for antique, new and vintage children’s furniture, you’ll want your choices to fit nicely within the decor scheme of the rest of your home. But you’ll also want to create an alluring and inspirational space for your children to feel relaxed and encouraged creatively. Indeed, a child’s room can be simultaneously stylish and playful — the ideal environment for children.
Understandably, beds were the first piece of furniture designed for young children. In Ancient Egypt, children’s beds were scaled-down versions of adult beds. They were intended to be a logical size for a child and low enough to the ground so that they could climb in by themselves.
Historians discovered early high chairs in Ancient Greece. In the 6th century B.C., a child’s training potty might have also been used as a high chair, while archaeologists on a dig discovered a terracotta high chair in a marketplace in Athens. By the Renaissance period, children’s bookshelves were popular with upper-class families who had disposable income and the desire to beautify all areas of the home. The original purpose was to organize school books, but shelves eventually became integral to children’s rooms of the era.
In the early 20th century, Italian physician Maria Montessori changed the way designers thought about children’s furniture. She wrote that it was important for children to have a safe environment of their own that they could easily navigate. Montessori believed that children’s furniture should be sized for them but that it should also be made of light, durable materials so that it’s easy for them to carry if needed.
Today’s widely known mid-century modern furniture designers took interest in the idea that young children should have well-crafted furniture of their own. You can find vintage mid-century modern children’s furniture created by the likes of Harry Bertoia, Charles and Ray Eames and Alvar Aalto. Contemporary industrial designer and architect Philippe Starck is also known for having introduced versions of his furniture that were geared toward children, especially his seating and storage solutions.
It’s never too early for good design. Decorating a child’s room offers the opportunity to combine elevated furnishings and a youthful spirit and can result in spaces that are at once elegant and whimsical. On 1stDibs, find design ideas for children’s rooms as well as a variety of new, antique and vintage children’s furniture today.
