The distinctive patchwork design, generous proportions, and exceptional seating comfort make this model a sought-after classic of sophisticated international vintage design.

the example offered here, along with its original ottoman, is in exceptionally good, near-mint condition. The high-quality, whiskey-colored buffalo leather has a warm, natural appearance and a beautifully even surface. The leather and upholstery are remarkably supple, full, and comfortable, while the characteristic patchwork stitching impressively showcases the craftsmanship. Both the chair and ottoman are in exceptionally well-maintained condition with only minimal signs of age-related wear.

the sculptural form of the ds-50 is defined by the wide, leather-covered side panels and the elegantly rising backrest. At the same time, the sophisticated construction ensures an incomparably relaxing seating experience. The backrest can be adjusted continuously simply by shifting your body weight, allowing for a smooth transition from an upright sitting position to a deep, comfortable reclining position. Combined with the matching ottoman, this creates a level of seating comfort that impressively confirms de sede's legendary reputation as a manufacturer of some of the most comfortable leather armchairs of the 20th century.

the story of de sede began in 1965 in klingnau, switzerland, as a small saddlery and within just a few years developed into one of europe's most prestigious furniture manufacturers. To this day, the name de sede stands for uncompromising quality, masterful leather craftsmanship, and furniture that lasts for generations. A hallmark of the brand is the use of exceptionally high-quality leathers, processed with traditional craftsmanship, giving each piece of furniture its distinctive character.

the ds-50 impressively combines all these qualities: luxurious materials, outstanding craftsmanship, iconic design, and exceptional comfort. An authentic swiss design classic for collectors, design enthusiasts and all those who appreciate uncompromising quality. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
