About This Piece

Vintage Design

De Sede DS-86 Leather Sofa, Switzerland, 1970s An iconic and luxurious three-seater leather sofa from the DS-86 series by De Sede, handcrafted in Switzerland during the 1970s. This stunning piece showcases De Sede’s reputation for premium quality, timeless design, and unmatched comfort. The DS-86 is characterized by its deep, structured seat cushions, high supportive backrest, and elegantly ribbed vertical stitching—hallmarks of 1970s Swiss design. Wrapped in supple, naturally patinated brown leather, the sofa exudes warmth, character, and a lived-in richness that only high-grade hide can achieve over time. The beautifully aged leather has developed a deep tone and softness, enhancing both its comfort and visual appeal. Generously proportioned at 218 cm wide, 85 cm deep, and 100 cm high, with a seat height of 42 cm, this piece offers a luxurious seating experience. The sculptural, integrated armrests provide further comfort, making it an inviting centerpiece for any lounge or modernist interior. Its architectural profile and durable construction underscore the brand’s heritage of functional design made to last generations. The DS-86 series was designed with a focus on clean lines, superior ergonomics, and timeless style—qualities that continue to make it one of De Sede’s most sought-after collections among collectors and interior designers alike. In very good vintage condition, with expected signs of wear consistent with age and use. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Swiss design history that blends sophistication, craftsmanship, and enduring comfort.

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.
