DE SEDE DS-600 „TATZELWURM“ / „SNAKE“ SECTIONAL SOFA ESPRESSO BROWN LEATHER, SWITZERLAND 1980s

-SOLD-

Iconic Swiss modular sofa designed in 1972 by Ueli Berger, Eleonore Peduzzi Riva, Heinz Ulrich and Klaus Vogt for de Sede. This exceptional example consists of 60 elements — 40 middle sections and 20 raised armrest elements — upholstered in rich dark mocha brown leather, Switzerland 1980s.

 

We also love the configuration as individual armchairs, consisting of two central elements and two side elements – a variant that is rarely, if ever, offered, yet is both visually very sophisticated and exceptionally comfortable.

The large number of side elements therefore provides the owner with an exceptional degree of flexibility and a wide range of possible configurations.

The DS-600 is renowned for its sculptural flexibility, allowing endless configurations from serpentine lines to dramatic circular forms. Handcrafted in Switzerland, it represents the pinnacle of de Sede’s leather craftsmanship and remains one of the most celebrated seating designs of the 20th century.

A rare, large-scale configuration and a true statement piece for expansive interiors.

In the photos taken in the white room, the leather appears black, but it is actually dark brown. In the third-to-last photo, you can clearly see how the rear elements appear black even though they are the same color.

The color of the leather is called „cigarro“ at the de Sede website.
