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 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 place able 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 high-class leather manufacture and popular all-over the world. To be honest, we’re not quite sure which we like better: the newly produced models or the 50-year-old sculptures...
