About the Item
The Bond Villain’s Dream Set: De Sede DS-101 3-Seater Sofa with 2 Matching Ottomans
Welcome to the world of Swiss precision, villainous flair, and—of course—James Bond. This isn't just a sofa; it's the sofa, the one that George Lazenby as 007 himself suavely lounged on in the 1969 Bond classic, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. Picture it: Lazenby, casually reclining in style, planning his next move, while Telly Savalas, playing the sinister Blofeld, plots world domination from its matching chair. Now, imagine this icon of both comfort and cinema taking center stage in your home.
The De Sede DS-101 is more than a vintage luxury piece—it’s a slice of movie history. Crafted with all the Swiss precision you’d expect from a brand that started out as a humble saddlery in Klingnau, Switzerland, De Sede quickly became the go-to name in high-end, hand-stitched leather furniture by the 1960s. Known for their obsessive attention to detail and luxurious materials, De Sede’s pieces are beloved by collectors, designers, and those with an eye for the finest things in life. And this DS-101 sofa? Well, it’s no longer in production, which makes it all the more rare and desirable.
Let’s talk craftsmanship—because wow, this piece is in near mint condition. The rich, dark chocolate leather is not just soft; it’s buttery, like the kind of luxury leather that molds to your body and ages beautifully. The hand-stitched baseball-style seams give it a robust yet chic edge, the kind of detail that only Swiss artisans could perfect. And just when you think it’s a typical sofa, you sit—and surprise! The seats are mounted on a clever grid/sled design that lets you recline with ease, making every seat feel like your personal luxury lounge.
Finding one of these three-seaters is hard enough, but one with two matching ottomans?! They’re the perfect companions to the sofa, giving your guests a place to kick up their feet and settle in for the ultimate Bond-style viewing party. Picture it: A dimly lit room, martinis shaken (never stirred), and your friends lounging in total comfort. This set wasn’t just designed to look amazing in a villain’s lair—it’s equally at home in a stylish contemporary living room, a cinema room, or even a swanky library.
The DS-101 isn’t just any sofa; it’s a statement. This was the future of furniture in the 1970s, embodying both sleek modernist aesthetics and unrivaled comfort. And De Sede? They’ve always been innovators. From their early days, the company combined traditional leatherworking skills with bold new designs, and by the 1960s, they’d become icons of the modernist movement, blending form and function in perfect harmony.
But alas, this model has long been discontinued, which means this could be your only chance to snag this exceptional set for your home. A timeless piece that has seen Bond villains and heroes alike, the DS-101 3-seater sofa is truly a collector’s dream. Whether you’re plotting your next global takeover or just binge-watching every Bond film, this set will make you feel like you're living in your very own movie.
This is more than furniture. It’s a ticket to sit where cinematic history was made, and to live like a modern-day Bond villain—with infinitely better taste.

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.

Grande Divano Curvo Boomerang Sofa, After Gio Ponti, C. 1950
By Gio Ponti
Located in Culver City, CA
This has to be one of the most beautiful sofas our gallery has ever had. This piece is early Italian1950's. Similar to pieces by Gio Ponti, Ico Parisi and Vladimir Kagan this large curved sofa features walnut legs and has been reupholstered in a fine, white, Belgian boucle.
The boomerang-shaped sofa is a true masterpiece that embodies the essence of Italian design. Italian modern design is known for its clean lines, bold shapes, and exquisite attention to detail, making them timeless pieces of art that have stood the test of time.
This particular sofa, is a stunning piece that exudes elegance and sophistication. The unique boomerang shape of the sofa is both stylish and practical, as it offers a comfortable seating experience while also being a visually striking addition to any room. The sofa is upholstered in a white Belgian boucle fabric, which adds to its luxurious appeal and complements its sleek design.
This boomerang shaped sofa measures 90" long on the longer side, and 75" long on the shorter side. This gorgeous sofa could fit into a corner, but hiding those 9 splayed cone legs, and curved back lines wouldn't quite do this sofa justice.
This vintage Italian piece is constructed with the highest level of quality. This sofa in particular has 8 way hand tied springs, the seating cushion has springs, the stuffing all horsehair and the upholstery was a worn mohair. We have remarkable photos documenting sofa before and during restoration.
While Gio Ponti is regarded as one of the most significant Italian designers; his contemporaries, such as Achille Castiglioni, Vico Magistretti, and Ettore Sottsass, also contributed to the world of Italian design. Castiglioni, for instance, was known for his playful and functional designs, while Magistretti was renowned for his minimalist aesthetic. Sottsass, on the other hand, was a pioneer of the Memphis Group, which was known for its bold and colorful designs.
We currently have this sofa in the gallery alongside a pair of Jean Royere chairs...

By Bramin Mobler, H.W. Klein
Located in Culver City, CA
This sofa is spectacular! Designed by H.W. Klein for Bramin Mobler in the late 1950's, this sculptural sofa is just as comfortable as it is beautiful. With long, clean lines and arched wingback sides, the body is reminiscent of an Arne Jacobsen egg chair.
The back of the sofa showcases the solid teak frame that perfectly cradles the body of the sofa. The teak frame is further accentuated with its rich color and patina that really pops off the white lower-pile fine Belgian boucle...
