De Sede “DS-11” Modular Sofa, Black Leather, 1970, Set of 6
Description
De Sede “DS-11” modular sofa, black leather, Switzerland, 1970, set of 6.
The De Sede “DS-11” modular sofa exemplifies the great art of craftsmanship and design of the 1970s. The in-house creative team of the Swiss design furniture brand conceived this sectional couch with a precise identity and rich materials. The DS11 features six modular elements: three straight sections and three corner units, offering endless versatility in configuration. Its clean, horizontal patchwork design is accentuated by precise striping that enhances its understated elegance. Upholstered in full-grain black leather, the sofa showcases De Sede’s renowned deep-buttoning technique, or so-called “capitonné,” which adds texture and visual depth to the design. The backrest seamlessly integrates with the squared support side, creating a cohesive, cubic profile. This design forgoes visible legs, resting instead on a concealed monolithic base, which grounds the sofa in a monumental presence. The “DS-11” provides exceptional comfort and durability, with a sculptural form that embraces both modernity and tradition. Its smooth seat borders and meticulous craftsmanship highlight the company’s commitment to excellence. Renowned brand, issuing some of the most iconic midcentury modern sofas like the DS-600 “Snake” and “Terrazza”, De Sede is worldwide recognized as one of the most important leather furniture producers.
