About the Item

Ubald Klug’s Terrazza Couch (1973) for De Sede is an iconic expression of 1970s design, blending organic form with luxurious craftsmanship. Inspired by the layered contours of rolling landscapes, its sculptural silhouette is achieved through meticulously stacked foam layers, upholstered in supple Edelman leather. The undulating structure not only offers ergonomic comfort but also transforms seating into an artistic statement. A testament to Klug’s innovative approach to material and form, the Terrazza Couch remains a timeless embodiment of Swiss modernist design.

By De Sede, Ubald Klug
Located in Lonigo, Veneto
Ubald Klug DS-1025 "Terrazza" sofa for De Sede, leather, Switzerland, 1974. Ubald Klug designed this rare modular DS-1025 "Terrazza" sofa as a real living landscape. Each element recalls a terrace-like, stepped slope with different widths and depths. A valley or a mountain can appear depending on how the individual modules are assembled. The "Terrazza" was recreated thanks to the De Sede manufacturer and its ability to transform high-quality leather into seating furniture. This multi-layered upholstered relief invites people to sit or lie down, combining durability and comfort with a unique design. After training at the Art and Design College in Zurich, Ulbald Klug (1932) gained further experience in architectural practices in Zurich and Helsinki. Paris has been his sphere of activity since 1966, when he founded his architecture and interior design bureau. Klug proved himself successful at finding solutions to different challenges and developed non-conformist solutions - from furniture design, to concepts for urban installations, to architectural prototypes...
