De Sede DS-142 Chairs in Gray Leather, A Pair, Winfried Totzek, 1980's

About the Item

These chairs are gorgeous! They’re not just pieces of furniture—they’re straight-up legends. Designed by none other than Winfried Totzek (yes, we’re name-dropping), these bad boys are the luxury upgrade your life has been waiting for. And before you even think about sitting in them, let’s talk about that dark gray leather. We’re talking leather so soft, it feels like a hug from the universe itself. The channel tufting? I mean, did De Sede nail this, or what? It glides across the back and arms like a perfect wave of perfection, and you can tell the craftsmanship is next-level. You don’t just see the skill—it radiates. Now, let’s get to the real tea: the multifunctionality. These aren’t your basic chairs; these chairs are the perfect lounge chairs. You can adjust the back and armrests to whatever position your heart desires. Want to sit up and look poised? Done. Feeling more like a laid-back lounge queen? The chair’s got you. They click into place like they’re saying, “I got you, boo.” Oh, and can we talk about the seat width? It’s massive—big enough for two, but honey, once you sink into this leather cloud, you’re gonna keep it all for yourself. Sharing? Yeah, not happening. And did we mention those legs? Yep, the OG 1988 black legs are still intact. You’re basically sitting on a piece of history. They don’t even make these anymore, so good luck finding another set like this. Rare? You bet. Iconic? Absolutely. Basically, these chairs are unicorns of vintage furniture. The De Sede Breakdown: Born in Switzerland, De Sede has been out here making the most luxurious seating on the planet since forever (okay, since the 1960s, but close enough). They started as a cute little saddlery, handcrafting leather goods with that Swiss precision, and now they’re an international powerhouse of fine furniture. Their leatherwork is unmatched—if you know, you know. Every piece is handmade, and their attention to detail is, frankly, obsessive (in the best way possible). Owning anything from De Sede is like having a VIP ticket to the luxury furniture club. Meet Winfried Totzek: Totzek is the design king who knows that luxury isn’t just about looks—it’s about making things work for you. He designed these chairs with a perfect blend of sleek, modern vibes and top-tier functionality. His pieces are all about the “wow” factor without sacrificing comfort. Let’s just say he’s the kind of designer who knew how to make you look good while feeling like a boss. And these chairs? They’re the proof.
