De Sede DS-266 Adjustable Recliner in Natural Wot Upholstery by Stefan Heiliger
About the Item
Geometric form and the simplest function. A seat suddenly turns into a comfortable recliner – DS-266 condenses more than 30 years of work by designer Stefan Heiliger into a highly individual sculpture characterized by a love of geometric forms and the simplest of functions. All it takes is a slight shift in bodyweight, and anyone who was just sitting upright can immediately assume a different position – the parallelogram uncompromisingly heeds your command. A masterfully crafted patchwork look gives this sculptural hybrid its graceful rounding.
Stefan Heiliger ranks among Germany’s best-known furniture designers: as the son of Bernhard Heiliger, one of the most important German sculptors of the postwar period, he always knows how to give his furniture designs a sculptural appearance. For more than 30 years, he has been thinking about sitting and for Heiliger, the focus is not just on functionality and ergonomics but on healthy pragmatism, too. This furniture is destined not mainly for museums or galleries, but for serial production and the person who will make him- or herself at home on it. The flowing, curved forms transform his seating furniture into sculptures that are certain to offer pleasure and relaxation for those who sit on them. His creation, DS-266, is not a place to sit or lie – it’s a hybrid that permits both in one: slight shifts in bodyweight or gentle pressure to the backrest always give it the shape and benefits desired. Anyone who takes a closer look at DS-266 will also see a clenched fist in the sitting position that can become transformed into an open hand when used as a recliner.

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-262/11 Armchair in Black Upholstery & Swivel Base by Stefan HeiligerBy Stefan Heiliger, De SedeLocated in Brooklyn, NYUnimagined flexibility, thanks to two armchair parts. The architecture of the armchair is based on two parts, each able to swivel about its own axis. Depending on how the two chair parts are rotated relative to one another, the lower part can be used as an armrest, a footrest or practical shelf. Elegant buttoning and Fine piping on all sides – quite in keeping with incomparable De Sede quality underscore the impressive look. It’s been going on like this forever: ever since our solar system emerged billions of years ago from the so called primordial cloud, the planets – earth included – have been rotating. And thank goodness: if Mother Earth were absolutely immobile, it would be boiling hot on the side facing the sun and icy cold on the other side. As it is, however, we comfortably enjoy our life – sometimes spinning the way DS-262 does as it rises up like a lofty sculpture in the room – but that nevertheless encourages active relaxation, because the range of different sitting postures can be sampled to one’s heart’s content. Additional information: Material: Leather Category: Select - Black Type: Nappa leather, lighty pigmented Thickness: 1.2 to 1.4 mm Characteristics: Elegant in appearance, particularly durable, less sensitive to humidity, spots and light exposure thanks to an easy-care finish. Living unites practical considerations with a high aesthetic.
