Ubald Klug for De Sede — DS-1025 “Terrazza” Sofa in Patinated Leather, 1970s
Original DS-1025 “Terrazza” landscape sofa element by Ubald Klug for De Sede, Switzerland, 1970s.
Iconic post-modern design in richly patinated brown leather with sculptural, layered contours.
Designed by Ubald Klug for De Sede in the early 1970s, the DS-1025 “Terrazza” sofa remains one of the most recognizable icons of post-modern furniture design.
Inspired by natural land formations and Italian amphitheatres, its stepped, terraced layers create an organic landscape that is both functional and sculptural.
This authentic single element (1 × available) was produced by De Sede Switzerland circa the 1970s and is fully upholstered in its original high-quality brown leather.
The leather shows a beautifully aged patina with natural colour variations, folds, and signs of use that highlight its vintage character.
The exceptional craftsmanship and generous padding are characteristic of De Sede’s renowned Swiss quality, ensuring comfort as well as visual impact.
Each “Terrazza” element can stand alone or be combined with other modules to form larger, flowing compositions—from daybeds to expansive lounge installations.
Its sculptural profile and rich surface texture make it equally suitable for residential interiors, art spaces, or hotel lobbies seeking a statement piece.
This example presents an appealing, even patina, minor wear consistent with age, and solid structure throughout.
A rare opportunity to acquire an original DS-1025 in untouched vintage condition.

De Sede
A de Sede piece lends a strong personality to the room it occupies. One of the world’s most respected furniture design houses, de Sede’s quality Swiss craftsmanship has its foundation in a long history of making expertly designed saddles. Founded in 1965 to build on a successful family-run saddler’s workshop in Klingnau, Switzerland, de Sede now is a leading manufacturer of leather goods and furniture, including sofas, chairs and beds.
At the core of de Sede’s philosophy is a reverence for the complexity and beauty of handcrafted furniture in an age when mass-produced objects are the norm. Over the years, the atelier has built a name for itself in its modular furniture pieces, which are made using the highest quality leather upholstery. The sleek, elegant pieces incorporate functionality with beauty. Amongst their best-selling designs is the DS-600 introduced in 1972. Also known as the Non Stop sofa, it is a sensually curved, snaking modular sofa whose individual pieces can be zipped together to create multiple variations and arcs.
De Sede has collaborated with some of the world's finest design minds, enhancing the prestige and individuality of their products. Designers like Santiago Calatrava, Antonella Scarpitta, Stephan Hürlemann, Gordon Guillaumier and Philippe Malouin have all created pieces with the atelier. Ubald Klug’s 1974 DS-1025, also known as the Terrazza sofa, is an enduring favorite with its cascading levels of leather. In 2017, de Sede expanded its product line to include high-quality leather handbags, which are as thoughtfully designed and beautifully crafted as its furniture. De Sede AG is now part of the Volare Group AG and continues to handcraft its fine furniture and other goods from its factory in Klingnau.

By De Sede, Ubald Klug
Located in Lonigo, Veneto
Ubald Klug DS-1025 "Terrazza" sofa for De Sede, brown leather, Switzerland, 1974.
Ubald Klug designed this rare modular DS-1025 "Terrazza" sofa as a real living landscape. Each element recalls a terrace-like, stepped slope with different widths and depths. A valley or a mountain can appear depending on how the individual modules are assembled. The "Terrazza" was recreated thanks to the De Sede manufacturer and its ability to transform high-quality leather into seating furniture. This multi-layered upholstered relief invites people to sit or lie down, combining durability and comfort with a unique design.
After training at the Art and Design College in Zurich, Ulbald Klug (1932) gained further experience in architectural practices in Zurich and Helsinki. Paris has been his sphere of activity since 1966, when he founded his architecture and interior design bureau.
