About the Item
The profile of the first DS-55 states: “The future belongs to high-backed chairs! As attractive individual pieces of furniture, they set accents and enliven every room as soloists.” No wonder that just in time for the 55th anniversary of De Sede this sculpture receives a fresh cell cure to guarantee for the future what was promised at the launch: The future belongs to the high-backed chairs again.
From the very first look at the original model, it was clear that in addition to the materials and feel, the design also radiated timeless modernity and optimum comfort: The softly upholstered seat shell provides the necessary
stability, the enthroned look ensures perfect seating comfort, and the curved armrest lends the armchair the necessary sculptural sophistication.
The DS-55 radiates the passion with which our founder Ernst Lüthy and his companions created furniture. The simple elegance and the great love of leather were always in the foreground. Today, you can still feel the passion for craftsmanship and the perfected work of the upholsterers with every moment you spend in a DS-55. In order to pass on the enthusiasm for high-quality leather furniture to the next generations, De Sede gives the new DS-55 a small facelift. The once leather trumpet foot gives way to a modern, slim star stand. Especially the ergonomic features have been adapted and the Classic DS-55 has been given a new, future-proof life.
The light, casual high-backed chair is the gift that the De Sede design team not only offers to the manufactory on the occasion of its 55th anniversary, but also enables customers the opportunity to experience a piece of Swiss craftsmanship anew.
The revitalization of the DS-55 is a heartfelt project, which, on the occasion of De Sede's 55th anniversary, reflects the passion for leather sculptures that is still lived day after day. The seat shell pleasantly embraces the sitter and provides the right stability, while the soft armrests invite you to relax and reflect on past and future. Characteristic of the DS-55 is the lounge-like design language, which brings the values of timeless design, highest leather quality and unique craftsmanship to the point in a re-edition. Adapted to the current desires for comfortable seating, the DS-55 with its optionally available stool is ready for the future and at the same time a jewel of the De Sede history.

De Sede
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.

De Sede DS-0343 Schiefer Leather Armchair by De Sede Design Team & Bart Van der
By De Sede
Located in Brooklyn, NY
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...
