The DS-40 by De Sede is one of the Swiss firm’s most iconic models from the 1970s and perfectly embodies the philosophy that established the brand as an international leader in luxury furniture. Conceived by the company’s in-house design team, it stands out for its bold lines and great geometric purity, balanced by the extraordinary comfort provided by its ample cushions with deep tufted stitching and its generous leather upholstery. Handcrafted from the highest-quality leather, the DS-40 develops a natural patina over time that enhances its character and authenticity, making each piece one-of-a-kind. Its timeless, modernist-inspired aesthetic and the excellence of its craftsmanship make this sofa one of De Sede’s most prized creations and an icon of Swiss design from the second half of the 20th century.

Founded in Klingnau, Switzerland, in 1965 as a workshop specializing in leather goods, De Sede applied the same exacting standards of craftsmanship used in the production of leather goods to the creation of furniture. Beginning in the late 1960s, the company began collaborating with leading international designers, developing a collection of sofas and armchairs that soon became a benchmark for high-end European design. The brand has always upheld a philosophy based on the quality of materials, precision in construction, and the creation of furniture designed to last for generations.
