About the Item

Mid-century two-seater "DS101" leather sofa by De Sede. Original espresso leather upholstery with signature braided stitching. The rich natural patina shows color variations throughout. Reclines for maximum comfort. Seats extend out an additional 5" when fully reclined. De Sede AG is a Swiss luxury furniture manufacturer headquartered in Klingnau, Switzerland, founded in the mid-1960s with roots in a family-run saddler’s workshop established by Ernst Lüthy in the early 1960s. The business was formalized as De Sede AG in 1965 and built its reputation on handcrafted leather furniture that emphasizes meticulous material selection, artisanal stitching, and high-quality assembly. The company’s product range includes sofas, armchairs, chairs, tables, beds, outdoor furniture, and accessories, all produced with a commitment to craftsmanship and durability, and distributed internationally through a network of dealers and showrooms. De Sede’s hallmark is its fusion of traditional leatherworking techniques with innovative, sculptural design, often realized through collaborations with external designers and in-house creative teams. Over time, the brand has maintained production in Switzerland, exporting the majority of its output and reinforcing its position in the high-end furniture segment.
