About the Item
DS-80 Daybed by De Sede, Switzerland, 1970s – Early EditionBrown/Burgundy Patchwork Leather Daybed on a Lacquered Slatted Wood Base
An early and highly collectible edition of De Sede’s celebrated DS-80 daybed, crafted in Switzerland in the 1970s. With its deep brown to burgundy hues and richly aged patina, this piece embodies the tactile, soulful quality that has made De Sede a mainstay of vintage Swiss modernism. Ideal for interiors embracing Ibizan, bohemian, or Japandi aesthetics, it offers a visual anchor steeped in character and sophistication.
This daybed features De Sede’s signature hand-patched leather—an artisanal process that stitches together leftover full-grain hides into a unified, quilted masterpiece. The leather has aged beautifully into a soft, burgundy-toned surface with a fantastic patina. Though two leather tiles have been replaced over time, the change blends discreetly into the patchwork’s organic rhythm, barely distinguishable from the original sections.
The condition of the daybed is structurally excellent, with no damage—only the honest signs of age that enrich its authenticity. The leather is supple, deeply creased, and full of expressive grain. The foam retains its form and comfort, and the iconic grid tufting remains intact. The open slatted wood frame—finished in satin black lacquer—adds a sculptural, floating quality to the design.
Beyond its elegance, the DS-80 remains a functional classic: equally suitable as a daybed, guest bed, or modular lounge element. Its low silhouette and architectural lines offer a calm, grounded presence in any space.

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 80 Daybed in Teak Upholstery by De Sede Design Team
By De Sede
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Feet up and just unwind - our DS-80 relocates sleep to the daytime hours, the time when we are supposed to be active and getting things done. Its subtle appearance reminds us to take a relaxing break from our hectic everyday lives once in a while – and that’s certainly nothing to be ashamed of.
The modest dimensions of the daybed are a benefit here, as they gently force you to spend some time on your own. Part of the basic furnishings of any upscale interior in the 1920s, the flat daybed has been enjoying a Renaissance for several years now.
Our daybed caused a stir more than 30 years ago, with its elaborate patchwork processing and freely placeable back cushions. This timeless Classic has now been gently updated. It is available both as a daybed and as a small lounge sofa, too.
The daybed doubles as a lounge sofa the daybed DS-80 has established itself as a timeless Classic by De Sede ever since it was launched in 1969: to this day, the model is a paradigm of highclass leather manufacture and
popular all-over the world.
