SOLD - De Sede DS-101 Sofa in Patinated Cognac Leather Switzerland 1970s
Directly from the first owner, this is an early 1970s set of a De Sede DS-101 two seater sofa and a DS-101 lounge chair in wonderfully patinated cognac leather.
The design is voluptuous and impressive - quintessentially 1970s but nevertheless also very timeless. The beautiful braided stitching adds visual interest and show the very high quality of the De Sede workshop. These, being a bit theatrical and camp, make the ideal set to spice up your living room. Also, these are incredibly comfortable - one can see that immediately by just looking at them. Also, the seats are able to slide forward to create a highly relaxed reclined sitting position.
Designed in 1969 and discontinued a long time ago (rumor has it because these were way too expensive to make), the DS-101 is quite a famous design. Both the sofa and chair were featured in the 1969 James Bond film ‘On Her Majesty's Secret Service’ and numerous famous people have sat on them. Also, the former Dutch queen Beatrix owns a DS-101 sofa which was custom built for her.
They come in a very good vintage condition. Very desirable patina on the leather with only a few marks, scratches and spots - as can be seen in the photos. These are ready to shine for another fifty years.
