This remarkable piece was produced by renowned Swiss furniture manufacturer de Sede and is no longer in production, making it a rare find on today’s market. Crafted—as is typical for de Sede—from exceptionally soft, high-quality premium leather in a beautiful medium brown / cognac tone, the chair is in very good condition. The leather has developed a charming patina over time, adding to its character and appeal. On the underside (not visible when in use), there are three small repairs—minor and unobtrusive, as shown in the photos. A striking piece of pop culture history, this sculptural chair makes a bold, eye-catching statement in any interior setting.

Measurements: Width: 36” Depth: 41” 53” when laid flat Height: 30” 18” when laid flat Susi and Ueli Berger brought a bold sense of experimentation to furniture design, merging artistic expression with everyday function. In collaboration with de Sede—renowned for its luxurious leather craftsmanship—they created pieces that challenged convention and delighted with their wit and originality. The Mini Boxing Glove perfectly captures the playful, boundary-defying spirit that defined 1970s design. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
