Vintage de Sede Leather Sofas and Armchairs

Founded in Switzerland in the 1960s, de Sede established itself as one of the most iconic manufacturers of 20th-century leather lounge furniture. Renowned for the exceptional quality of its thick leathers and its artisanal approach inherited from saddlery, the brand developed a series of models in the 1970s that became iconic in Swiss design: modular sofas, daybeds, low seating, and sculptural armchairs with particularly distinctive proportions.

De Sede’s productions are distinguished by their enveloping comfort, massive structures, and leathers capable of developing deep, nuanced patinas over decades, highly prized by vintage furniture enthusiasts. Many models produced by the brand during the 1970s combine modularity, comfort, and elegance, characteristic of international design from that period.

De Sede models that have passed through our collection undergo thorough cleaning and appropriate conditioning to preserve old leathers. This approach primarily aims to maintain the suppleness, depth, and natural variations of patina developed over decades, essential elements of the visual identity of the Swiss manufacturer’s older productions.

This selection brings together various vintage models produced by de Sede that have previously passed through our collection.
