De Sede DS35 Vintage Leather 3 Seater Sofa with Two Matching Armchairs
About the Item
A De Sede living room set featuring a vintage leather DS35 3 seater sofa with two matching swivel base armchairs presented in caramel coloured leather with polished aluminium supports.
With original production starting in the mid 1960s the DS35, along with its closely related design partner the DS31, became icons of outstanding Swiss design and high end manufacture. The two models shared many of the same design elements but with the 35 having a squarer more modernist form to the 31s curves. Both came in a number of variants over the years that included changes to the stitching and piping details as well as changes to the supporting frame and feet.
The set shown here is the DS35 variant with piping details to the leather and with the polished cast aluminium feet to both the armchairs and sofa. It’s a rare version and is presented in very good vintage condition with just a few marks to the leather and aluminium frames as you would expect commensurate with age and use – you’ll also see that one of the seat back sections on the sofa is slightly offset although this does not affect the overall visual appeal or comfort (see pictures for details). For its age the leather is in very condition which would suggest that both the chairs and the sofa has been recovered at some point in their history. However, if this is the case by reference to the photos, you can see that it was skilfully done. The set has in any event been priced with all the above detail in mind.

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.

- 4 vintage Eero Saarininen Knoll Inc. Executive armchairs with an oak frame baseBy Knoll, Eero SaarinenLocated in Highclere, NewburyA classic set of 4 vintage Eero Saarininen Knoll Inc. executive armchairs in the original Knoll blue fabric with an oak frame base. The Eero Saarinen Executive armchair was featured in nearly every Florence Knoll Mid Century interior throughout the 1950s and beyond. Originally introduced in 1950, the chair transformed the notion of what executive seating could be with its fluid, sculptural form and modern finishing. The timeless and versatile design continues to fit seamlessly into work, conference, lounge and dining applications of any décor. The chair remains as one of the most popular Knoll designs ever with new versions of the armchair, as shown here, in fabric with the wooden light oak base retailing at around £2,000 per chair. And it’s the wooden legs that add to their appeal and was ultimately a big improvement on the original tubular steel frame. They are just warmer and more welcoming, as well as being more aesthetically pleasing. As such the chairs are more often used these days as dining chairs rather than in the office. The chairs are also supremely comfortable and are upholstered in a classic Knoll wool fabric that has different subtle colour flecks within the fabric and that also features a slightly darker colour in the seat. This is an intentional design aesthetic as it helps to maintain the condition and look of the seat with heavier use. They date from the 1990s and remain in very good vintage condition with only light signs of use. This item is sold as a set of 4 chairs but the chairs are also available as a complete dining set matched with a Florence Knoll Walnut table...Category
