About the Item

This De Sede DS-101 three-seat sofa is designed for uncompromising comfort. Each section reclines individually, creating a customizable lounge experience that has made the model a sought-after model. Produced in Switzerland during the 1970s, the DS-101 combines deep cushioning, generous proportions, and refined detailing with the brand’s reputation for meticulous leather craftsmanship. • Upholstered in supple butterscotch leather, crafted from De Sede’s characteristically thick hides that age beautifully over time. • Features hand-stitched whipstitch seams, a signature of the Klingnau workshop that highlights its artisanal quality. • Low, sculptural armrests, subtle tufting, and plush seat depth emphasize both ergonomics and visual rhythm. • The reclining functionality allows each seat to shift seamlessly from upright support to relaxed lounging. Handmade in Switzerland by De Sede, the revered manufacturer known worldwide for its precision leatherwork and enduring designs. A true 1970s Swiss modern icon, the DS-101 blends exceptional comfort with timeless craftsmanship — equally at home in modern, eclectic, or collector-focused interiors. Nice vintage condition with light, age-appropriate wear. The leather retains its natural suppleness and displays a warm, even patina.
