Product description
Two-seater sofa from the DS-84 series, produced by De Sede in Switzerland in the 1970s. The DS-84 belongs to a generation of De Sede seating furniture that emphasized sculptural mass, tactile surfaces, and visible craftsmanship over decorative details.
This model is characterized by its compact, almost block-shaped proportions and gently rounded contours. The upholstery is made of thick leather panels, joined together with striking vertical stitching and characteristic zigzag seams—a trademark of De Sede's artisanal production methods of that period. These seams are not only functional but also an integral part of the design language.
The gently sloping backrest and integrated armrests create a relaxed seating position, while the low, recessed base visually grounds the piece and enhances its architectural presence. The overall shape balances comfort with a strong, independent silhouette.
The DS-84 series reflects De Sede's heritage in traditional Swiss leatherwork, rooted in saddlery techniques, combined with the experimental, organic design trends of the 1970s. This series thus occupies a clear position within the brand's early design identity.
A strong example of Swiss vintage design, combining material honesty, sculptural forms, and durable craftsmanship.
The leather exhibits a natural patina, surface variation, and signs of age consistent with long-term use. Structurally sound and comfortable.
