About the Item
De Sede DS-86 Leather Sofa, Switzerland, 1970s
An iconic and luxurious three-seater leather sofa from the DS-86 series by De Sede, handcrafted in Switzerland during the 1970s. This stunning piece showcases De Sede’s reputation for premium quality, timeless design, and unmatched comfort.
The DS-86 is characterized by its deep, structured seat cushions, high supportive backrest, and elegantly ribbed vertical stitching—hallmarks of 1970s Swiss design. Wrapped in supple, naturally patinated brown leather, the sofa exudes warmth, character, and a lived-in richness that only high-grade hide can achieve over time. The beautifully aged leather has developed a deep tone and softness, enhancing both its comfort and visual appeal.
Generously proportioned at 218 cm wide, 85 cm deep, and 100 cm high, with a seat height of 42 cm, this piece offers a luxurious seating experience. The sculptural, integrated armrests provide further comfort, making it an inviting centerpiece for any lounge or modernist interior. Its architectural profile and durable construction underscore the brand’s heritage of functional design made to last generations.
The DS-86 series was designed with a focus on clean lines, superior ergonomics, and timeless style—qualities that continue to make it one of De Sede’s most sought-after collections among collectors and interior designers alike.
In very good vintage condition, with expected signs of wear consistent with age and use. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Swiss design history that blends sophistication, craftsmanship, and enduring comfort.

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.
