De Sede DS-61 three-seater sofa in brown leather, Switzerland, 1970s

A beautifully aged DS-61 three-seater sofa by Swiss manufacturer De Sede, dating from the 1970s. Upholstered in its original warm brown leather, the sofa has developed a rich, distinctive patina over the decades. Natural creasing, tonal variations, darker areas and visible traces of use lend the leather a wonderfully lived-in character, giving each surface its own depth and warmth. The design combines generous, softly upholstered cushions with clean architectural lines, distinctive stitching and a subtly floating seat. The leather-covered side panels and fully upholstered back further emphasise its refined, sculptural appearance. The original leather has been carefully cleaned and conditioned, preserving its authentic vintage character. It shows noticeable signs of age and use, including areas of wear and discolouration, which contribute to its distinctive appearance. A characterful example of Swiss vintage design, where the natural ageing of the leather has become an integral part of the sofa's appeal. Dimensions: Depth x Height x Length: 86 x 68 x 199 cm. Seat height: 36 cm.
