About the Item

Revolutionary seating concept DS-343 is an armchair that moves when the person seated moves – because the object is constructed not with a classic seating surface that stops at the backrest, but with one that extends to the height of the pelvis. If one leans backwards, the backrest element, from pelvic height on up, automatically moves along with the user – without any mechanical effort, and solely as a result of the change in the posture of the person seated. And the design is equal to this revolutionary seating concept: the silhouette of the wing chair is defined by the skilful folding of the leather. Dimensionally stable Neck leather in thicknesses of up to 5 mm is skilfully processed by hand to ensure that it continuously cascades over the edges. We did not bring a designer on board to develop this wing chair – with all due respect: we are not exactly short on expertise in this area. Still, we found that thinking outside the box helps us better understand the human body, its features and needs. So we looked around in the fields of science, medicine and orthopedics and brought an expert on board. Star physical therapist Bart Van der Heyden drew our attention to the fact that the human body normally maintains a dynamic equilibrium when forces act on it. Yet the pivot point of swaying chairs does not follow our axis of motion. Van der Heyden came up with a brilliant solution to this problem: the seat shell on this armchair is extended to pelvic height to create an ergonomic sitting posture. If you lean backwards, only the upper part of the backrest moves. This provides support to the spine, and the chest opens. In addition to the backrest, the seat shell tilts backwards to achieve an even better lying and relaxing position. This new movement mechanism is patented – so you can enjoy our seating revolution to the fullest. Additional information: Material: Leather Category: Neck - Schiefer Type: Natural Nappa leather Thickness: up to 5 mm Characteristics: An innate natural quality with an incomparably distinctive, even rustic, aura; it is a true eye-catcher – simply incomparable. A cover made from Neck requires an entire section of hide for each back, side and seating element. When joined, it creates a so-called optical stitch seam: a piece of art from De Sede craftspeople that requires unsurpassed skill. Dimensions: 70 W x 100 D x 120 H cm Seat height: 42 cm Armrest height: 58 cm.

De Sede DS-344 Black Leather Armchair by De Sede Design Team
By De Sede
Located in Brooklyn, NY
The twin of DS-343 DS-344 is the twin of the armchair that reinvented sitting: same creators, same idea, just a little different in appearance. This version of the armchair, which protects the pelvis and back, uses leather in a thinner version: a sustainable raw material that we use for comfort. This makes the chair somewhat lighter, and its appearance and feel allow for further areas of application. “SuperSeating” is the name of Bart Van der Heyden...

Pli Dual Rotation Multi-Functional Leather Armchair by FSM
By Stefan Heiliger, De Sede
Located in Brooklyn, NY
FSM Pli chair by De Sede. A miracle of rotation. The chair Pli consists of two armchair parts, each rotating about its own axis. Thanks to the option of Dual rotation the armchair can fulfill a variety of functions and surprises the person seated with unimagined flexibility. Depending on how the two chair parts are rotated relative to one another, the armchair can be used with an armrest, a footrest or an intelligent shelf. The needs and demands of the person seated are virtually limitless. Designer Stefan Heiliger’s basic IDEA was to create a functional armchair that can be operated differently. Previous functional armchairs had a footrest that could be pulled up or an armrest that could be folded up individually. Pli can do without all this. This smart swivel armchair revolutionarily fulfills the arm- or footrest functions with the correct pivot point. The design of the dynamic seating object looks stately. This is how Pli lends a tasteful touch of extravagance to the commercial and residential settings alike. Details: Standard configuration: Round base and column coated in matte black with a fine texture. Upholstery and assembly: Seat, back and footrest: supporting metal structure, high bulk density molded foam. Seat and back with comfort upholstery, back with integrated lumbar support. Seat comfort: Ergonomically designed seat with soft upholstery. Function: Footrest and armchair can be rotated 360° independently of one another. Substructure: Round base and column coated in matte black with a fine texture. Pearl-gloss chrome-plated or coated in different color on request for a surcharge. Double-shell steel structure with closed round base. Synthetic slide-on glides also supplied. Note: The seat and back are loosely covered...
