About the Item
A beautifully aged DS-12 lounge chair produced by De Sede in Switzerland during the 1970s. Upholstered in rich brown neck leather, this chair embodies the quiet confidence and tactile luxury for which De Sede became internationally renowned.
The design is defined by its generous proportions and soft, architectural presence. Thick, supple leather panels are carefully stitched and tensioned, creating a sculptural volume that feels both grounded and inviting. The gently rounded armrests and deep seat convey an immediate sense of comfort, while the natural patina of the leather tells a story of time, use, and authenticity. Subtle creases and tonal variations enhance its character, reinforcing the chair’s honest, lived-in elegance. A timeless piece that balances Swiss craftsmanship with a distinctly relaxed modernism.
About the Producer
Founded in 1965, De Sede is celebrated for its uncompromising approach to leather craftsmanship. Producing all of its upholstery in Switzerland, the company is known for using exceptionally thick, high-quality leathers and traditional hand-finishing techniques. De Sede’s designs from the 1960s and 1970s are especially admired for their sculptural forms, durability, and enduring comfort, positioning the brand as a cornerstone of high-end European seating design.
