About the Item
De Sede DS-600 ‘Snake’ Sectional Sofa in Patinated Tan Leather by Ueli Berger, Switzerland, 1972
An enduring icon of avant-garde furniture design, the DS-600 sectional sofa by Ueli Berger for De Sede, Switzerland (1972), stands as one of the most versatile and recognizable modular seating systems in modern design history. This 7-segment version, upholstered in rich, patinated tan leather, retains all the charm, comfort, and adaptability that have made the DS-600 a cult favorite among designers and collectors alike.
Each module consists of a beech wood frame with foam cushioning, covered in high-quality leather that has developed a warm, inviting patina over time. The segments are joined together using a hidden zipper and canvas strap system, allowing for fluid, snake-like curves or straight-line configurations. Whether styled for a sculptural statement or a functional seating solution, the DS-600 adapts seamlessly.
The inviting tan leather contrasts handsomely with the dark suede base, enhancing the piece's rhythmic, organic form. Measuring 325 cm in total length, 100 cm in depth, 75 cm in height, and with a seat height of 39 cm, this configuration provides generous seating while maintaining a visually balanced footprint suitable for a range of interior layouts.
Renowned for both its engineering and luxurious feel, the DS-600 was designed to redefine flexibility in lounge seating. It holds a place in the permanent collections of several major museums and remains a cornerstone of De Sede's design legacy. This 7-piece variant is ideal for those seeking the iconic appeal of the full system in a more space-conscious format — perfect for city apartments, studios, or intimate lounge settings.
A rare opportunity to own a vintage Swiss modern masterpiece that brings both sculptural beauty and unparalleled comfort to any environment.

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.
