DS 101 Reclining Lounge Chair in Leather from de Sede, 1960s

About This Piece

Vintage Design

An ultra-rare and ultra-comfortable DS-101 armchair upholstered in high-quality tobacco-colored leather from the world-renowned Swiss furniture house de Sede. As you undoubtedly know from your interest in these design masterpieces (famously, as seen in the James Bond film On Her Majesty's Service), de Sede DS-101 pieces are of unparalleled quality, displaying detail and execution of an unparalleled standard. This armchair has some superficial signs of wear and tear that grant it a certain charm and are easily removed by simple polishing (there is a slight patina on the seat cushions and armrests, as one would expect).

All the recliner mechanisms work perfectly; pulling out the lower footrest reclines the backrest. A beautiful, comfortable and timeless armchair with the special and unique stitching. The only work to be done, if desired, is to replace the elastic seat bands that have let go over time.

H-71cm, L-105CM and D-94 up to 106cm, seated height: 38cm.

About the Maker

de Sede

Like many luxury leather goods brands, furniture-manufacturing company de Sede started out as a saddle-making atelier. Based in Klingnau—located in northern Switzerland near the German border—the company traces its high-end furniture production back to 1965, when the original family-run business incorporated and began to collaborate with international designers on the creation of handmade, premium-leather-clad chairs, lounges, and sofas. Over the years, de Sede’s product offering has expanded to include tables, beds, and more.

Generous proportions balanced by sleek silhouettes characterize de Sede furniture. The top quality craftsmanship means each piece has been built to last.

As of this writing, according to the company’s current facts and figures, de Sede AG produces more than 11,000 pieces of furniture each year, of which 70% is exported and distributed in over 40 countries; and, on a production area of 11,000 m2, it processes around 32,000 m2 of top-quality leather each year.
