Description

Ueli Berger for De Sede, lounge chair, model 'DS-80', wood, leather, Switzerland, 1970s

The 'DS-80' lounge chair designed by Ueli Berger for De Sede. The frame is a stark, dark grey angular structure composed of two elongated struts intersecting in a bold Z-shape that holds the seat in an assertive recline. There is a striking tension between the uncompromising linearity of the base against the relaxed, yielding surface of the cushions. The patinated cognac leather is stitched in narrow vertical channels, which subtly elongate the form.

De Sede once started as a saddler's workshop in Klingnau, Switzerland. Over time, the company expanded its vision and dedicated itself to crafting high-quality seating furniture from the finest leather. In 1965, this family-run business evolved into a professional enterprise known as De Sede AG. Renowned for their meticulous attention to detail, De Sede products prioritize the needs and comfort of their users. Consequently, every DeSede item is made from premium materials, ensuring both durability and comfort.

Kindly note that the piece is in good, used condition with signs of age and use. For further details, we encourage you to reach out to our team of design specialists.

Condition Report

This pair of Ueli Berger for De Sede Model DS-80 cognac leather lounge chairs is in excellent condition with one professional replacement. The original cognac aniline leather is in super condition, exhibiting light to moderate marking and desirable pipe-like creasing but no dryness, powdering, or cracking. All heavy waxed thread stitching is intact, with no broken corner miters.

The leather support belts have been professionally replaced (original belts perished, as common), which is the sole deviation from originality. Structurally sound and ready for use, this pair is in excellent restored condition with the belt replacement properly executed and disclosed.
