About the Item
Modular seating system with movable backrest In the further development of the modular seating system, the organic form of the sculptural body grew more filigree, more slender and more modern. Instead of the swiveling metal sheets, a high-quality plastic sheet that can bend in all desired curves now ensures that the movable backrest can easily be positioned around the entire seat – in whatever fashion happens to fit.
It’s like a car: no matter how good the sales figures are – after ten years on the market, it’s time for a general overhaul. Which is why, just a few years after the successful launch of the DS-164 and DS-165 series, De Sede came knocking at Hugo de Ruiter’s door again. The assignment was clear: further development of both models, including new materials. “I regard furniture as a third skin,” says the Dutchman who stands for meaningful innovations and pushes for sustainable manufacturing processes. He lived up to this when he rethought his two series: instead of the swiveling metal sheets, DS-167 uses a high-quality plastic sheet that can bend to create all the needed curves and can serve the highest individual needs while revolving around the seat. Together with the stricter contours and more slender legs, DS-167 has finally become what it is today: a bestseller.

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-707 Sofa in Black Club Leather Upholstery by Philippe Malouin
By Philippe Malouin, De Sede
Located in Brooklyn, NY
The DS-707 is the modern composition of handmade leather and contemporary design. The flowing, soft transitions combine the postmodern era of Swiss furniture design with the clear open structures of brutalism that inspired designer Philippe Malouin. Available as a comfortable armchair or as a modular sofa that can be combined in infinite ways, the DS-707 is the visual perfection of form that gives every room a unique highlight.
Where the St. Lawrence River Montreal flows in a serpentine pattern, a residential complex marked by the architectural style of brutalism rises up on a small headland, the famous Habitat 67. 354 concrete blocks arranged in a stepped pattern adorn a part of Montreal’s multifaceted skyline, designed by architect Moshe Safdie...

De Sede DS-21 Three-Seat Sofa in Black Upholstery by Stephan Hürlemann
By Stephan Hürlemann, De Sede
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Opulent elements for modular use. The architectural structure of DS-21 is created by a metal frame that surrounds individual cushion volumes, seemingly carrying them effortlessly. The opulent elements counteract the clear lines of the frame. They function as modules that can be relocated. DS-21 comes in different upholstery combinations, with leather or fabric covers, and in three different frame widths with matt black or high-gloss chrome-plated metal legs. An armchair rounds out this family of seats. The DS-21 range is complemented by coffee tables and side tables with glass tops in different versions.
This sculpture looks as if it has always stood there. A statement, essentially: I’ve been here forever. And yet: the proportions seem fresh and new, unused and inviting, classic and modern. DS-21 is the work of Stephan Hürlemann. The Appenzell native studied architecture at ETH Zurich and was the partner of designer Hannes Wettstein, after whose death in 2008 he took over as creative director of the world-renowned Zurich studio. Hürlemann remains true to the classic style. With the seating landscape for De Sede, he has created a floating sculpture that flirts with the lightness of being...
