The story of de Sede: From craftsmanship to a global brand
The success story of de Sede began in 1965 in Klingnau, Switzerland. What started out as a specialized saddlery business for handmade, custom-made leather furniture quickly gained international reputation thanks to the uncompromising quality of the materials and workmanship. Icons such as the famous “Tatzelwurm” sofa DS-600 or the terrazza landscape DS-1025 have written design history.
To this day, de Sede remains true to its roots: the passion for the natural material leather and the masterful craftsmanship are the core of every design. In a world of mass production, de Sede consistently relies on durability and the art of individual production.
What makes de Sede a legend
The art of leatherworking
The heart of de Sede is the leather. Only the best hides are processed in the factory. The brand is particularly known for its neck leather - up to 5 mm thick and yet incredibly supple. This depth of material gives the furniture a distinctive feel and a patina that gains character over the years.
Sculptural design language
de Sede Furniture is more than seating; they are statements in space. Whether organic curves or striking folds like the DS-707 – the designs challenge the status quo and at the same time offer ergonomic perfection at the highest level.
Swiss manufacturing quality
Every detail, from the precise decorative stitching to the inner workings of the upholstery, is carried out with the utmost care. The combination of state-of-the-art technology and traditional saddlery craftsmanship guarantees longevity that will last for generations.
Frequently asked questions about de Sede
Where is de Sede furniture made?
All de Sede furniture is manufactured in the in-house factory in Klingnau, Switzerland. The label “Handmade in Switzerland” stands for strict quality controls and genuine craftsmanship.
What is special about de Sede leather?
de Sede only uses the highest quality hides, often in exceptional thicknesses (e.g. neck leather). Special tanning processes preserve the natural structure and breathability, which ensures a unique seating climate.
How do I properly care for my de Sede leather furniture?
Leather is a natural product. We recommend regular cleaning with a soft, slightly damp cloth and the use of the special de Sede care sets to permanently preserve the suppleness of the leather.
Can de Sede classics be reupholstered?
Yes, due to the extremely high-quality base frames, a new upholstery is often worthwhile even after decades. As a specialist partner, we will be happy to advise you on the options for professional reconditioning directly from the manufacturer.
