Product Portfolio
Sofas
DS-545
- The DS-545 is a classic par excellence. Sofas in three
different widths, easy chair and stool are all snugly upholstered with
viscoelastic padding. All seat and back cushions are attached to the chair
body with velcro to make them easy to remove for cleaning. The ash armrests
that frame the leather-clad side sections and flow down into the legs at
both front and rear form a particularly striking feature. This very light-coloured
and robust wood is finished with a colourless varnish or in our “Charcol”
shade as standard; on request, however, the wooden elements can be lacquered
in any RAL or NCS colour required. The same is true of the sumptuous leather
covering material in de Sede’s popular “Coloral” quality. This leather is
available in our current collection colours, but can also be dyed to
customers’ individual specifications.
DS-160
- The hand-crafted DS-160 heralds in an entire group of
products. It consists of five individual elements each 80 x 80 cm in size -
an individual easy chair with armrests, easy chair without armrests as an
intermediate element, two side elements with an armrest on either the right
or left and a stool - which can be combined to create exciting seating
ensembles. Brackets bolted to the rectangular tubular frame of stainless
steel link the individual modules together. The programme is further
extended by a 40 x 80 cm glass top that can be slotted between the seating
elements. It is child’s play to create new combinations at will which can
change your sitting direction, break up the arrangement with handy glass
surfaces, terminate in a bench or even go around a corner. All the seating
elements can also be used separately and can be complemented with a matching
80 x 80 cm glass-topped occasional table.
DS-1264
- The new DS-1264 bench system is a variation on the
DS-1064 sofa. But unlike its big brother, it manages without backrests and
adjustment, providing quick and practical seating for the lobby or reception
area. Various elements – straight, curved, seating islands and corner
modules – give this model an incredible degree of flexibility. Thanks to its
sculptural effect it can fill large spaces or meander strikingly through the
room. Its wooden body is covered in comfortable upholstery with decorative
double saddle stitching. For the chrome-plated legs with their high-gloss or
pearlescent finish, customers can choose either a convex rounded leg or have
a metal leg with a round cover. Here, too, there is a coloured lacquer
option for the finish.
DS-159
- The clear-cut design concept behind the DS-159 modular
system is a masterstroke of creative upholstery. Both seat and back section
are generously tufted with leather buttons and piping. The unassuming
straight-edged lines of the chair - which is available with or without arms
- and the stool form the basis for the various seating combinations and sofa
systems that can be put together as required using the individual elements
measuring 80 x 80 cm. There are both couch and integrated tables to match,
which fit harmoniously with seating ensembles and make an interesting
addition to any living environment. The modules can be combined easily to
form a stable unit.
DS-640
- Milanese designer Antonella Scarpitta has set a new
feminine course within the de Sede collection with her DS-640. The rearward
sweeping side sections embrace the back upholstery and its cosily deep
seating, imbuing it with an unparalleled elegance and making virtually every
sitting and reclining position an absolute joy. With its loose cushions, the
sofa is an unrefusable invitation to sit and lounge and revel in such
outstanding comfort.
DS-820
- Clad sumptuously in de Sede’s finest NECK leather, the
DS-820 is yet further proof of the company’s consummate leather-working
craftsmanship. It takes no fewer than four to five large hides to cover this
remarkable sofa. A single seam divides the seat and back rest along the
centre. The commodious lines of the armrests spring from the ingenious way
in which the leather is draped. This exceptional method of cutting and
folding is necessary since sewing NECK leather - which can be as much as
half a centimetre in thickness - is only possible in certain places. This is
yet another reason why only the very finest hides can be used for this
striking quality of leather with its warm and supple appeal. Despite the use
of this impressive covering material with its marked pattern of natural
creasing, the classically elegant DS-820 retains all the unmistakable
seating comfort for which de Sede is famous, making it an absolute delight
for sitting, lying and reclining.
DS-2410
- A good many modern classics have already emerged from the
Maly design studio. And the DS-2400 is a yet another creation whose
clean-cut, geometric lines make it a firm contender to become a further
contemporary classic. Together with his partner, Birgit Hoffmann, Peter Maly
has developed a seating concept of unique generosity.
An entire seating family makes it possible to form harmonious ensembles to
enhance your living environment, since the new program has been conceived
not merely to include sofa elements and armchairs in two different size
ranges, but also dining tables, benches and comfortable dining chairs.
DS-2420
- As is to be expected from de Sede, the details reflect all the top-quality
skills of the company’s traditional craftsmanship. The commodious seat
cushioning is partitioned by fine diagonal seams, while the diagonal motif
is echoed in the sweeping armrests in the form of oblique stitching and
pleats. The seating elements, sofas and stools perch on deeply recessed
bases, while the large armchairs can also swivel.
Constructed on metal frames, the dining chairs offer a level of comfort that
makes it a pleasure to linger at the dining table. The tables themselves –
with either a rectangular solid wooden top – are fashioned in walnut or
light oak with stainless steel legs.
DS-80
- This daybed is a logical and faithful re-design of the
celebrated de Sede classic and has lost none of its fascination. Its
extravagant patchwork covering together with back cushioning that can be
positioned as required caused a sensation more than 30 years ago. The
contrasts deliberately chosen between the individual pieces of leather used
in the patchwork covering are particularly effective in our Naturale
category of leather and make a significant contribution to the charm of this
classic model. The model has been only slightly altered to fit the spirit of
the new collection. The DS-80 is available as both a recliner and small
lounge sofa.
Chairs / Benches
DS-290
- The DS-290 Tub Chair is a veritable little gem. The
playful pattern of the stitching in its seat and back cushioning coupled
with its delicately sweeping armrests give it an inimitable charm. With its
comfortable arms, this chair is ideal for use in restaurants or conference
rooms and is available in a choice of designs. In the case of the lower
version, the backrest has been extended downward and fitted with tiny legs
or castors. In its cantilevered incarnation, the seat shell is screwed to a
chrome-plated frame with a high-gloss or pearlescent finish. The Tub Chair
is also ideal for the office when perched atop a chromed central column
mounted on a five-star base in polished aluminium which can be equipped with
either castors or glides. Its intriguing lines, perfect upholstery,
first-rate materials and superb comfort make this chair something very
special.
DS-718
- The DS-718 is a chair that is equally at home in the
dining room or conference room. Thanks to its perfect balance, its
cantilevered form is wholly captivating and unites clear design with
unparalleled quality and the ultimate in seating comfort. The
leather-covered foamed seat shell is attached to a round tubular frame in
either a high-gloss or pearlescent chromed finish, or can be lacquered on
request. The leather covering has an attractive tucked seam running around
the side. With or without armrests, this cantilever chair can be stacked
without difficulty.
DS-2430
- A good many modern classics have already emerged from the
Maly design studio. And the DS-2400 is a yet another creation whose
clean-cut, geometric lines make it a firm contender to become a further
contemporary classic. Together with his partner, Birgit Hoffmann, Peter Maly

RH-304
- Its harmonious proportions and clean-cut lines make the
RH-304 cantilever chair an icon of SWISS DESIGN. Robert Haussmann’s creation
proved a resounding success when it premiered at the end of the Fifties,
when it was used for the seating in a conference room at UNESCO headquarters
in Paris. Avidly sought by collectors and connoisseurs, it is now available
again along with the RH-305 as a re-edition from de Sede: virtually
indistinguishable from their historic precursor, the silhouettes of both
models – subtly enhanced by slimmer seat upholstery – shine in a new-found
glory.
RH-305
- A chair that has lost none of its elegance and style
since it was created in the 1950s. This re-edition of the de Sede icon has a
somewhat slimmer upholstered surface, its seat height has been modified
slightly and its frame (in high-gloss or smoky chrome finish) adapted to
meet new tilt requirements. There is a version with armrests available, too.
Otherwise, this Swiss classic remains unchanged.
DS-717
- The DS-717 is the unequivocal expression of simplicity of
form and unsurpassed functionality melded smoothly in a unique symbiosis of
delight. In addition to the chair - with or without armrests - the same
series also includes a barstool and lounge chair. All the chairs follow the
same idea from Claudio Bellini, based on his understanding of what the
precision mechanics of seating demands of design: the ultimate in comfort!
The seat shells of the chairs are unalloyed ergonomic perfection - a rousing
success for this innovative designer - while the chromium-plated steel
tubing is the non-plus-ultra in shape. In the DS-717, seating becomes an act
of sensuousness linked with unparalleled comfort. But seating can only be
truly good when - in addition to aspects such as technology, material,
ergonomics and tactility # it also explores human momentum and incorporates
this as well. The work of Claudio Bellini does so in a manner that is
unequalled today, thanks to his conviction that design in the final analysis
serves but one purpose: to provide matchless quality # and to do so without
compromise!

DS-545
- The DS-545 is a classic par excellence. Sofas in three
different widths, easy chair and stool are all snugly upholstered with
viscoelastic padding. All seat and back cushions are attached to the chair
body with velcro to make them easy to remove for cleaning. The ash armrests
that frame the leather-clad side sections and flow down into the legs at
both front and rear form a particularly striking feature. This very light-coloured
and robust wood is finished with a colourless varnish or in our “Charcol”
shade as standard; on request, however, the wooden elements can be lacquered
in any RAL or NCS colour required. The same is true of the sumptuous leather
covering material in de Sede’s popular “Coloral” quality. This leather is
available in our current collection colours, but can also be dyed to
customers’ individual specifications.
DS-51
- The Seventies were hallmarked by some extremely
innovative designs and saw the birth of many classics that are still popular
today. Ingeniously designed seating produced with typical Swiss quality made
the de Sede brand well known throughout the world during this period. The
DS-51 swivel armchair is one such model: designed in the company’s own
workshop and first manufactured in 1971. Today’s rediscovery of the styles
of this time have re-awakened contemporary interest in this classic. The
skill of craftsmanship that has gone into creating this chair reflects its
high aesthetic standards to perfection. The seat and back cushions are all
sewn by hand and it is the striking stitching on the outside that makes this
armchair so exceptional and gives it its exquisite appearance. Its low seat
height and generous dimensions ensure that the DS-51 can fit easily into a
modern lounge environment while appearing light and elegant. The high level
of comfort is maintained despite its somewhat fragile appearance. Available
with or without armrests.
DS-159
- The clear-cut design concept behind the DS-159 modular
system is a masterstroke of creative upholstery. Both seat and back section
are generously tufted with leather buttons and piping. The unassuming
straight-edged lines of the chair - which is available with or without arms
- and the stool form the basis for the various seating combinations and sofa
systems that can be put together as required using the individual elements
measuring 80 x 80 cm. There are both couch and integrated tables to match,
which fit harmoniously with seating ensembles and make an interesting
addition to any living environment. The modules can be combined easily to
form a stable unit.
DS-258
- Thanks to its comfortable seating height the DS-258 model
provides a perfect setting for prolonged lounging. The tufted back and seat
sections reflect a sense of tradition while at the same time expressing a
sophisticated feel for luxury. The quality of the upholstery and base of
this cantilevered chair - which is available in chrome-plated flat steel
with either a high-gloss or pearlescent finish – evince an awareness of
traditional values coupled with a fine sense of the luxurious. The lounge
chair exudes the flair of a timeless classic and is perfect for both private
settings and public areas.
DS-257
- The DS-257 is a genuine executive armchair. Its tufted
seat and back cushions are not merely a demonstration of traditional values,
but also reflect a fine sense of luxury. Its dynamic lines, underscored by
forward-sweeping armrests, conceal comfortable upholstery that makes the
chair a delight to sit in even for longish periods. Top-quality leather and
impeccable workmanship give the chair an almost sensual air. Height and tilt
adjustments make for additional comfort, while a solid five-star base
provides the mobility needed for working at a desk. This chic leather chair
is ideal for both private areas and meeting environments.

DS-9045
- Fresh, uncompromising and elegant. A modular side table
in aluminium that can be used as a stand-alone model or in combination. The
table is available in three colours: natural, bronze, brown.
DS-9055
- The appeal of this table rests in its devotion to detail
and eye-catching elegance. The oval tubular steel frame and individually
selectable leather edging make the ds-9055 the perfect complement to the
iconic de Sede rh-304/305 chairs by Robert Haussmann. The table is available
in three shapes: rectangular, ellipsoid and round and in a choice of oak,
cherry wood and American walnut.

DS-9046
- When designing the DS-9046 side table, Philippe
Bestenheider explored the creative possibilities offered by working with
full-grain leather. Starting with the leather’s agreeable surface texture,
of the kind familiar from old writing desks, the Swiss designer called upon
first-class workmanship, devotion to detail and the finishing skills of the
Arts and Crafts movement to develop a small yet supremely elegant table in
which smooth premium-quality full-grain leather is used not only to cover
the hexagonal tabletop, but also to sheathe the three chromium steel legs.
The cladding of these merges smoothly into the custom-tailored and
precisely-crafted woven work that gives this striking side table its slim
profile and airy looks. This ensures that the DS-9046 makes an eye-catching
addition to every environment. The table is available in three shades of
leather, while the chromium steel legs come in two colours.

Beds / Room divider
DS-9050
- The byobu (literally: “wind wall”) is a traditional
Japanese folding screen made of rice-paper that dates back to the 8th
century. Starting with the concept of this screen, designer Philippe
Bestenheider has created a three-dimensional filigree structure consisting
of a metal frame covered with a fibre material made from cellulose and
paper. The tear-proof lengths of fabric are woven through the frame and act
as flexible hinges. The material gives the screen an impression of airy
lightness. Its three sections allow the DS-9050 screen to be positioned in a
straight line, angled or even folded to create a star shape. One
particularly intriguing design element is the hand-crafted leatherwork used
to attach the screen’s covering to its frame. This exciting screen is
available in a variety of colour combinations.
DS-1164
- The new bed collection from the house of de Sede
celebrates the rediscovery of divine sleep and thereby redefines that old
saying about "making your bed and lying on it". This is thanks to a design
principle that follows closely in the footsteps of the DS-164 and DS-165
sofas - both of which already enjoy cult status. The bed-heads can be
adjusted to precisely the right position for every occasion: from front to
rear, from left to right.
DS-1165
- This makes it a true premiere in bed design. The
DS-1164/1165 models guarantee that any hint of boredom in the bedroom is
most definitely a thing of the past. These beds bear eloquent witness to how
daring design can play delightfully with sensuality to conjure up unique new
vistas for the human imagination. Added to this comes an intriguing choice
of shapes. But the practical element has not been forgotten: standardised
elements can be used for the slatted frames and mattresses thus allowing
customers to choose their beds "inner selves" to suit their own individual
requirements. These beds provide the ideal spot for virtually untrammelled
dreaming - both by night and by day.

HE-113
- Furniture made from steel is timeless; today it is more
in demand than ever. In search of a new functional design this type of
furniture first appeared in the Bauhaus workshops founded by Walter Gropius
in Weimar - a modern school of art of architects, designers and artists for
whom, due to their knowledge of proportion and function, house and
furnishings had a meaningful relationship with one another...
DS-600
- A multifunctional element range. You can zip a number of
the same element together until you have the longest sofa in the world. That
way you can always find a new arrangement for your room. de Sede's own
combination of both supportive and down-soft upholstery gives this variable
sofa, the legendary de Sede sitting comfort.
DS-1025
- Built on the basis of two ingenious elements which have
been painstakingly constructed with eminent craftsmanship into striking
terrace-like forms, the DS-1025 provides a unique seating experience. Like
terraced hills, the elements left and right vary in width and depth in
tapering steps. Together they constitute a welcoming two-seater, a pyramid
or a small range of upholstered hillocks. With the addition of extra
elements, it is possible to create seating groups whose diversity is limited
only by the owner's imagination.
